ABSTRACT
Virtualization of traditional musical instruments is gaining popularity due to the rapid advancement of technology. Due to the limited access to traditional musical instruments, technology is seen as an enabler to preserve these musical instruments along with making them more attractive and accessible. This paper focuses on a pilot study of exploring the interaction with a Digital Musical Instrument (DMI) based on the Malay bonang. A prototype called Air Bonang was developed on a virtual reality system for users to experience playing the bonang in an immersive platform to facilitate musical learning, performance, and composition. Findings from the study were used to further improve the research protocol for a larger-scale study.

GW'05: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Gesture in Human-Computer Interaction and SimulationBoth musicians and non-musicians can often be seen making sound-producing gestures in the air without touching any real instruments. Such “air playing” can be regarded as an expression of how people perceive and imagine music, and studying the ...
