Abstract
We present a generic, structured model for design and evaluation of musical interfaces. This model is development oriented, and it is based on the fundamental function of the musical interfaces, i.e., to coordinate the human action and perception for musical expression, subject to human capabilities and skills. To illustrate the particulars of this model and present it in operation, we consider the previous design and evaluation phase of iPalmas, our testbed for exploring rhythmic interaction. Our findings inform the current design phase of iPalmas visual and auditory displays, where we build on what has resonated with the test users, and explore further possibilities based on the evaluation results.
