Tangible Bits Exhibitions | 
musicBottles introduces a tangible interface that deploys bottles as containers
and controls for digital information. The system consists of a specially designed
table and three corked bottles that "contain" the sounds of the violin, the cello
and the piano in Edouard Lalo's Piano Trio in C Minor, Op. 7. Custom-designed
electromagnetic tags embedded in the bottles enable each one to be wirelessly
identified. The opening and closing of a bottle is also detected. When a bottle
is placed onto the stage area of the table and the cork is removed, the corresponding
instrument becomes audible. A pattern of colored light is rear-projected onto
the table's translucent surface to reflect changes in pitch and volume. The interface
allows users to structure the experience of the musical composition by physically
manipulating the different sound tracks.Papers musicBottles exhibited at SIGGRAPH '99 Bottles short paper presented at CHI '01 Videos High Resolution MPEG [352x240] Low Resolution MPEG [240x160] High Resolution RealVideo [360x240] Low Resolution RealVideo [240x160] |
