3d Motion Data Analysis and Visualisation for String Practice Training

This paper presents an overview of a system for the analysis, visualisation and sonification of 3D motion capture data. The system has been developed in the context of the i-Maestro project [1, 2]. The i-Maestro project (www.i-maestro.org) is co-funded by the European Community under the IST Sixth Framework Programme to develop interactive multimedia environments for technology enhanced music education. The project explores novel solutions for music training in both theory and performance, building on recent innovations resulting from the development of computer and information technologies, by exploiting new pedagogical paradigms with cooperative and interactive self-learning environments, gesture interfaces, and augmented instruments.
