![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The guide provides location-dependent audio descriptions based on user hand positions and gestures. introduced the concept of a gesture-controlled interactive audio guide for visual artworks that uses depth-sensing cameras to sense the location and gestures of the user’s hands during tactile exploration of a bas-relief artwork model. used proximity and touch sensors to provide voice guidance on museum exhibits through mobile devices. introduced inScent, a wearable olfactory display that allows users to receive notifications through scent in a mobile environment. This is like tapping on an iPad to make something happen however, instead of a smooth, flat touch screen, these exhibit panels can include textures, bas-relief, raised lines, and other tactile surface treatments. If the users touch one of these panels with bare hands or wearing light gloves, they can hear information about the touched part. The Art Talking Tactile Exhibit Panel in the San Diego Museum allows visitors to touch Juan Sánchez Cotán’s master still-life, “Quince, Cabbage, Melon, and Cucumber”, painted in Toledo, Spain, in 1602. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has displayed replicas of the artworks exhibited in the museum. Some tangibles can be filled with “scents”, such as olive puree, mashed raisins, and honey, which means that they use different methods (scent and taste) to promote reflexive learning and use objects to support storytelling. Additionally, the Mapsense design used conductive tangibles that can be detected. A sliding gesture in the dedicated menu in Mapsense filters geographical information (e.g., cities, seas, etc.). Their map consisted of several multisensory tangibles that can be explored in a tactile way but can also be smelled or tasted, allowing users to interact with them using touch, taste, and smell together. created a raised-line overlaying multisensory interactive map on a capacitive projected touch screen for visually impaired children after a five-week field study in a specialized institute. Someone will doubtless rightly remind me that there is a known set of generally-accepted frequencies for each scale, and they would be right to do so, indeed if they know where, it would be a useful contribution: however in the real world, once tuned, the orchestra gently drifts off-tune at quie an alarming rate, at times, as instruments and the venue warm up abnd humidity from players and audience has is effect, so in reality we rarely if ever play in any kind of theoretically-perfect way.In viewing artworks by the visually impaired, museums generally provide visually impaired people with audio explanatory guides that focus on the visual representation of the objects in paintings. The question is, where to find such a beast? Yes, I could use oscilloscope software to create MP3 files, but that's a lot of files, and they'd have to loop.ĭon't forget, for that matter, that we should avoid perfect pitch, because it's too perfect - I wrote up the guide for harp players a long time ago, because we use the circle-of-fifths on the second harmonic to get a complete enharmonic tuning as stage one of a complete tune-up, but the last stage is perhaps the most essential, we then tune off just a little, to keep harmonics within the note, but not in the fifths. ![]() The oboe's used because it's fairly stable, and it's not got serious overtomes, but a sine-wave is the simplest. What also drives me towards an electronic pipe is purity of tone, the usual buzz is wrong in so many ways, all over the shop in frequency, harmonics, and tone. I also sing pre-baroque, so I need to have a frequency-adjust for things like A-339 on top. ce=froogle - about $80) - more compact than one of the little Casio or similar keyboardsĬellphone apps: for the iphone, for example, there are two versions of a piano for pitch-one has smaller keys but 2 octaves if you want to play songs, the other is just one octave with bigger keys Pocket Tones nifty keychain electronic pitch instrument: e.g. Pitch pipe, non electric (I prefer C to C versus F to F) However, I would find it distracting if someone used an electronic device to give pitch in a concert-best to stick to tuning fork or pitch pipe for concerts, and use in rehearsal the same thing you'll use in concert so singers get used to it. I prefer pitch pipe or the electronic tools. For receiving pitch in rehearsal, I find tuning fork transmitted by voice to be less clear sometimes (for volume or other reasons). People seem fond of their iphone applications. My favorite for me to use is the tuning fork, but I also quite like using the Pocket Tones device. I've been in settings where people have tried a lot of different instruments for pitch. ![]()
