Musical box: draw it yourself

Published: 09 June 2010 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, two interaction designs are introduced. The first design empowers children to create music by drawing on papers. A real-time camera-based software is developed which performs the score in a spectrographic style. The second design enables children to build their own digital musical boxes that play the created music. The described webcam application is implemented and released, and the proposed musical box will be demonstrated in the conference.
