  • Conference paper
Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment (INTETAIN 2014)

Abstract

Everyone can be a music DJ nowadays. However, most DJs forget about the interaction with the audience while performing their mixing tasks. A new way of interacting with the music and the audience is presented in this paper. Our solution is a software which allows perfect beat matched mixing and interaction with the software and the audience at the same time by using gesture controls. The interaction with the software works well and is entertaining, however, finding the appropriate gestures is not trivial. In addition new ideas regarding interaction with music are presented.
