The field of Adaptive Music Technology is rapidly expanding and evolving. While there have been a number of theses and dissertations devoted to the study of new computer music instrument design for persons with disabilities, there is, as yet, no comprehensive study of all of the instruments that have been developed, along with recommendations for how to develop future musical instruments given rapid changes in technology. In this thesis, a comprehensive literature review of previous instruments developed is presented, along with personal interviews of developers where literature has not yet been published about a given instrument. Then recommendations for future development of instruments based on this information are presented. Finally, a case study of the development of one such instrument using the Microsoft Kinect is undertaken, and observations and conclusions based on this research are drawn.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
