Unique Interactions

Easy to Compose Music

Fun and Playful

What is ARTEMIS?

Augmented Reality Teaching Everyone Music in Society (ARTEMIS) is the table that turns you drawings into music. The aim of this project is to allow users to collaborate and compose music in conjunction with interactive technology. This is achieved by it's unique circular design, as it encourages peformers to collaborate.

How does it work?

ARTEMIS captures the users drawings by the webcam thats suspeded over the whiteboard. This then sends an image for each degree of the circle (using polar co-ordinates), to then detect each pixles colour. If a colour is detected an instrument plays. Where red, blue and green have seperate instruments assigned to them. This also sends a signal on what LED should emit the colour detected, where the position of where ARTEMIS is reading would determin which LED would turned on.


The pitch is determined on the colour being detected position on the circle. Where the closer the colour is to the centre of the circle the higher the pitch, and the closer it is to the edge of the circle gives a low note.


ARTEMIS is also equiped with a debug window that allows the user to control the status of ARTEMIS. Where it includes the ability to reset the ARTEMIS Program, or even pause. The debug window also shows the user where ARTEMIS is currently reading, while showing you important variables that can be changed. This includes the circle radius and position on the camera feed.

Project Overview

DECO300 Interactive Experience Design - music collaboration is a special topic course provided by Stephen Viller of The University of Queensland, which follows from DECO3850 Physical Computing and Interaction Design. This course enables students to design what was known to be future iterations of their musical projects created from DECO3850. The aim of the course is to collaborate with the School of Music to iterate on the project. In which that it meets the standards of musicians with a variety of expertise. Where within the course a/multiple musician will have to perform in front of a live audience. Within Physical Computing ARTEMIS was created with the inspiration of new interfaces for music expression with a focus on music collaboration. ARTEMIS also takes inspiration from projects such as ReactAble, TuneTrace and Seaquence

Project Outcomes

Proposal

To initalize the process of implementing new features into ARTEMIS. A proposal was created to make sure that deadlines are met and development stays consistant throughout the semester.

Poster

ARTEMIS was invited to the Univerity of Queenslands Inovation Showcase (2017) to be displayed with a plethora of inovative projects from talented students

Previous Outcomes

Reflective Report

During the semester within DECO3850 we were task to create a report that reflected on our chossen domain (ARTEMIS is Music Expression). This produced the report that reflected on emotional expression through collaborative performative installations

KickStarter Video

The overall deadline for ARTEMIS was to produce a working prototype, to exhibit in public. This included a kickstarter video that would explain ARTEMIS conceptivly and physicaly
