Designing Gestures for Continuous Sonic Interaction (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tanaka, A., Di Donato, B., Zbyszynski, M., & Roks, G. (2019, June). Designing Gestures for Continuous Sonic Interaction. Presented at International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression, Porto Alegre, Brazil

This paper presents a system that allows users to quickly try different ways to train neural networks and temporal modeling techniques to associate arm gestures with time varying sound. We created a software framework for this, and designed three int... Read More about Designing Gestures for Continuous Sonic Interaction.

Improvising through the senses: a performance approach with the indirect use of technology (2018)
Journal Article
Michailidis, T., Dooley, J., Granieri, N., & Di Donato, B. (2018). Improvising through the senses: a performance approach with the indirect use of technology. Digital Creativity, 29(2-3), 149-164. https://doi.org/10.1080/14626268.2018.1511600

This article explores and proposes new ways of performing in a technology-mediated environment. We present a case study that examines feedback loop relationships between a dancer and a pianist. Rather than using data from sensor technologies to direc... Read More about Improvising through the senses: a performance approach with the indirect use of technology.

Myo Mapper: a Myo armband to OSC mapper (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Di Donato, B., Bullock, J., & Tanaka, A. (2018, June). Myo Mapper: a Myo armband to OSC mapper. Presented at International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA

Myo Mapper is a free and open source cross-platform application to map data from the gestural device Myo armband into Open Sound Control (OSC) messages. It represents a ‘quick and easy’ solution for exploring the Myo’s potential for realising new int... Read More about Myo Mapper: a Myo armband to OSC mapper.

MyoSpat: A hand-gesture controlled system for sound and light projections manipulation (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Di Donato, B., Dooley, J., Hockman, J., Bullock, J., & Hall, S. (2017). MyoSpat: A hand-gesture controlled system for sound and light projections manipulation. In Proceedings of the 2017 International Computer Music Conference (335-340)

We present MyoSpat, an interactive system that enables performers to control sound and light projections through hand-gestures. MyoSpat is designed and developed using the Myo armband as an input device and Pure Data (Pd) as an audiovisual engine. Th...
