On the Development of a System for Gesture Control of Spatialization

Abstract

This paper presents our current approach to the development of a system for controlling spatialization in a performance setup for small ensemble. We are developing a Gesture Description Interchange Format (GDIF) to standardize the way gesture-related information is stored and shared in a networked computer setup. Examples are given of our current GDIF namespace, the gesture tracking subsystem developed to use this namespace and patches written to control spatialization and mapping using gesture data. 1
