Yarmi
YARMI is an acronym standig for both Yarmi is an Augmented Reality Musical Instrument and Yet Another Ridiculous Musical Interface, and consists on a -still under development- collaborative, networked, tangible, musical instrument.
The instrument aims to provide a flexible and responsive musical experience, while -at the same time- allowing the spectators to understand what the musicians are doing (that is, to decode the performers’ gestures).
The instrument is distributed and multi-user. It consists on several stations (independent tabletop interfaces) which are networked and get synchronized automatically.
To allow for the audience decodification, all the visual feedback that the instrument provides is situated in and augmented reality space that is shared between the musicians and the public.
Now, with a revised (and improved) design, it is being implemented by undergraduate students Bruno Azzinari, Pablo Bounous, and Gastón Caldeiro.
