We explore the intersection of timbre-oriented design thinking with the harsh requirements of casual interaction in transitional settings. We present the results of deploying a creative-action metaphor based on whole-body interaction, the Dynamic Drum Collective [1]. An interesting feature of this new prototype is its ability to adapt to the particularities of its usage. In a sense, the software is tuned by using it. Its adjustments are kept aligned with the specific demands of the participant’s body characteristics and the spatial relationships between the parts of the body. The Dynamic Drum Collective metaphor provides an example of a new approach to design, Banging Interaction.
- Gesture based drumming
- Realtime interaction
- Multiplayer Drum Machine
- Works in CPU environment
- Code written in python
To install create a conda environment.
$ conda install -c conda-forge shapelyInstall the other dependencies The following command will install the packages according to the configuration file requirements.txt.
$ pip install -r requirements.txtEnsure the server and the client code is running in the same network. We can check that using ping.
Sometimes antivirus doesn't allow, you might have to deactivate the firewall during the experiment.
Check the server port
line 76 - 78
$ python3 ServerV2.pyCheck the file drum.py. The host should be the IP address of the server machine.port should be same as port as mentioned in server.
