Music Augmented Reality

This project aims to research, design, develop and evaluate a distributed hardware and software system to support creative and pedagogical work. It seeks to make live creative encounters, workshops, performance masterclasses, and learning and teaching activities in (amongst others) Music Skills available in pseudo real time to lecturers and students across the CETL (and indeed nationally and internationally). This affords new possibilities for pedagogic interactions (eg the musical equivalent of a combined language lab and computer lab allowing teachers to observe, control and interact with student music workstations distributed across a virtual workspace). It further promotes inclusivity through the creation and evaluation of new object-oriented forms of user interface suitable for use with music students and particularly relevant to those students from non-traditional backgrounds.
