“…For example, Stuart in Kit's band or Anthony in Janice's band might have "attached" the chord sheets they needed during the rehearsal to their respective guitar, facilitating access to them in the rehearsal. Alternatively, if these guitars were Smart Musical Instruments [36,37] then these digital resources might be physically stored in and accessed through the instrument. While certain aspects of context may commonly be associated with particular resources or activities, "stuff happens" and people discard their plans to suit the current situation [34].…”

“…Briefly, the perspectives of ubiquitous computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) invite us to consider how instruments, devices and other parts of the built environment can communicate and coordinate directly together, potentially with no human intervention. The idea of a specifically musical IoT has also been proposed [36,37].…”

Guitars are physical instruments that require skillful twohanded use. Their use is also supported by diverse digital and physical resources, such as videos and chord charts. To understand the challenges of interacting with supporting resources at the same time as playing we conducted an ethnographic study of the preparation activities of working musicians. We observe successive stages of individual and collaborative preparation, in which working musicians engage with a diverse range of digital and physical resources to support their preparation. Interaction with this complex ecology of digital and physical resources is finely interwoven into their embodied musical practices, which are usually encumbered by having their instrument in hand, and often by playing. We identify challenges for augmenting guitars within the rehearsal process by supporting interaction that is encumbered, contextual and connected, and suggest a range of possible responses.

“…Within the world of musical instruments and music industry, the vision of Internet of Musical Instruments has recently been proposed. According to such a vision, any musical instrument will be connected in the future to Internet via wireless communications, provided that the end-to-end latency is around 5 ms [30]- [32].…”

Low-Latency Networking: Where Latency Lurks and How to Tame It

While the current generation of mobile and fixed communication networks has been standardized for mobile broadband services, the next generation is driven by the vision of the Internet of Things and mission critical communication services requiring latency in the order of milliseconds or submilliseconds. However, these new stringent requirements have a large technical impact on the design of all layers of the communication protocol stack. The cross layer interactions are complex due to the multiple design principles and technologies that contribute to the layers' design and fundamental performance limitations. We will be able to develop low-latency networks only if we address the problem of these complex interactions from the new point of view of sub-milliseconds latency. In this article, we propose a holistic analysis and classification of the main design principles and enabling technologies that will make it possible to deploy low-latency wireless communication networks. We argue that these design principles and enabling technologies must be carefully orchestrated to meet the stringent requirements and to manage the inherent trade-offs between low latency and traditional performance metrics. We also review currently ongoing standardization activities in prominent standards associations, and discuss open problems for future research.

“…MIND Music Labs' Sensus Smart Guitar with use case studies [6]). Smart Instruments are instances of so-called "Musical Things" defined within the emerging field of Internet of Musical Things (IoMusT) [7]. IoMusT refers to an ecosystem of interoperable devices dedicated to the production and/or reception of music, which can lead to novel forms of interactions between performers and audiences.…”

“…The co-design sessions began with a presentation given by the experimenter, which included an introduction of the concepts of IoMusT [7] and of the Smart Instruments [4,6]. Specifically, the goal was to provide effective understanding of the overall IoMusT framework including existing and envisioned technologies with a particular focus on future musical instruments.…”

Smart Instruments are a novel family of musical instruments that embed sensors, actuators, wireless connectivity, and semantic audio technologies. This paper reports the findings of a participatory design approach to develop a Smart Cajón, a box-shaped percussion instrument with Internet of Musical Things components. Five initial co-design sessions were conducted with different professional cajón player participants. The players were invited to devise tangible mock-ups by placing provided sensors on an acoustic cajón, and to express desirable use cases and interactions. We then designed and implemented a prototype satisfying performers' common requirements. The prototype was assessed using the concurrent think-aloud protocol. On overall, the smart qualities of the prototype and their potential received positive feedback, and areas of improvements related to expressive control and personalization were highlighted.
