Seminars and Workshops

A workshop on Bela - the embedded platform for ultra-low latency audio and sensor processing - with Andrew McPherson from Queen Mary University of London.

A guest lecture and hands-on workshop on sonification of music-related body motion with Dr. Thomas Hermann from Bielefeld University.

Dr. Sven Ubik from the Department of Research and Development in CESNET, a Czech NREN (National Research and Educational) will present their low latency streaming hardware, MVTP-TICO-4K and MVTP-2HD-AUDIO.

Workshop with Dr. Elisavet Konstantinidou from University of Nicosia, Cyprus.

A workshop on electromyography (EMG), a method for measuring muscle tension, with Christian Lersch from Noraxon.

This workshop is linked to our project on sound-producing body motion. 

The upcoming workshop will be a basically practical, hands-on type workshop that we believe will be very useful for our ongoing work here.  

We are much looking forward what we believe will be an informal but highly productive workshop, so hope to see you all there!

Robert Wechsler (choreographer) and Andreas Bergsland (composer) will present a workshop concerning interactive technologies and approaches for turning human movement into music. 

The FourMs invites to an open workshop at the Motion Capture Lab. December 10-12. Complete schedule of activities and presentations is listed below.

PhD students Marc Thompson & Birgitta Burger from the University of Jyv?skyl? will demonstrate the  MoCap Toolboxfor Matlab.

The MoCap Toolbox is a Matlab? toolbox that contains functions for the analysis and visualization of motion capture data. It supports the generic .c3d file format, the .tsv data format produced by the Qualisys ProReflex system, and the .wii format produced by the WiiDataCapture software.

As preparations for the Motion Capture Workshop next week, we will be giving an introduction to using the NaturalPoint Optitrack system that is currently set up in the fourMs Lab.

A workshop on hyperimprovisation, with international and national guests.

A workshop on basic issues of gesture definitions and gesture capture/representation.
