In this paper, Entangled, a multi-modal instrument in virtual 3D space with sound, graphics, and the smartphone-based gestural interface for multi-user is introduced.Within the same network, the players can use their smartphone as the controller by entering a specific URL into their smartphone's browser. After joining the network, by actuating the smartphone's accelerometer, the players apply gravitational force to a swarm of particles in the virtual space. Machine learning-based gesture pattern recognition is parallelly used to increase the functionality of the gestural command.Through this interface, the player can achieve intuitive control of gravitation in virtual reality (VR) space. The gravitation becomes the medium of the system involving physics, graphics, and sonification which composes a multimodal compositional language with cross-modal correspondence. Entangled is built on AlloLib, which is a cross-platform suite of C++ components for building interactive multimedia tools and applications. Throughout the script, the reason for each decision is elaborated arguing the importance of crossmodal correspondence in the design procedure.
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.
