Using Tangible Interaction to Design Musicking Artifacts for Non-musicians
Published 15 Apr 2024 in cs.HC | (2404.09597v1)
Abstract: This paper presents a Research through Design exploration of the potential for using tangible interactions to enable active music experiences - musicking - for non-musicians. We present the Tubularium prototype, which aims to help non-musicians play music without requiring any initial skill. We present the initial design of the prototype and the features implemented in order to enable music-making by non-musicians, and offer some reflections based on observations of informal initial user explorations of the prototype.
