WOUWHI Dance Interface (SEAMUS 2009)Posted by admin on April 24th, 2009

At the SEAMUS conference, we saw Professor Joseph Harchanko give a fascinating presentation on WOUWHI. (The Western Oregon Wireless Human Interface)

As described in the program: The Western Oregon Wireless Human Interface, or WOUWHI … is an expressive wireless interface system designed for real-time creation of computer music and manipulation of video data. It was designed and built in collaboration between Scott Morse, Joseph Harchanko, and Sharon Oberst. The WOUWHI allows for expanded freedom in the temporal decisions of the performer. It allows for more spatial freedom than previous systems by means of the wireless connection between the performer and the computer. It is an ideal system for concert performance, choreographed dance, and installations involving real-time computer audio and video.
