MuSeeCol: A See-through Multi-touch Surface for Face-to-face Musical Collaboration

Authors Info & Claims
Published:09 November 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

MuSeeCol is a collaborative music creation system that allows two users to jointly and playfully compose melodic or percussive music. Collaborative music is rendered when two face-to-face users interact with their respective side of a see-through multi-touch sensitive acrylic panel. We present user study findings from nine pairs of individuals who have used the MuSeeCol system collaboratively and summarize some general observations of what types of interaction designs make for effective face-to-face collaboration.
