Auditory feedback in an interactive rhythmic tutoring system

Published: 07 September 2011 Publication History

Abstract

We present the recent developments in the design of audio-visual feedback in iPalmas, the interactive Flamenco rhythm tutor. Based on evaluation of the original implementation, we have re-designed the interface to better support the user in learning and performing rhythmic patterns. The system measures the performance parameters of the user and provides auditory feedback on the performance with different sounds corresponding to different performance attributes. The design of these sounds is informed by several attributes derived from the evaluation. We propose informative, non-intrusive. and archetypal sounds to be used in the system.
