Intelligent Music Interfaces: When Interactive Assistance and Augmentation Meet Musical Instruments

“…Integrating interactive technologies into musical instruments has become an emerging field. Initial work in the domain of intelligent music interfaces focused on improving the play performance of students through learning-by-demonstration [8][9][10][11]15] or by reflecting the performance directly to the student for real-time improvements [4]. Further, musical instruments were augmented by technologies to extend the musical sound space.…”

Soloist: Generating Mixed-Initiative Tutorials from Existing Guitar Instructional Videos Through Audio Processing

“…In contrast, the Soloist system adapts to existing video lessons and automatically generates personalized tutorials. Past work has also leveraged various sensory signals to facilitate music learning [28,31,42]. For instance, EMGuitar [31] uses electromyography to detect fine-grained hand and finger positioning for guitar.…”

“…Past work has also leveraged various sensory signals to facilitate music learning [28,31,42]. For instance, EMGuitar [31] uses electromyography to detect fine-grained hand and finger positioning for guitar. Our system minimizes the use of additional sensors and leverages only acoustic data that can be easily obtained using computer microphones or recording interfaces.…”

“…Finally, another limitation is that Soloist relies solely on audio information, while instrument playing also requires motor skills [28,31]. Future work can investigate the combination of audio information and motion data of the user or instrument for additional feedback.…”

Subtletee: Augmenting Posture Awareness for Beginner Golfers

“…This reflects findings in past work that showed that appropriately designed feedback can foster independence in acquiring motor skills and reduces the need for coaching time, cf. [42].…”
