Abstract

We present a hand clapping interface for sonic interaction with the computer. The current implementation has been buit on the Pure Data (PD) sofware. The interface makes use of the cyclic nature of hand clapping and recognition of the clap type, and enables interactive control over diferent applications. Three prototype applications for the interface are presented: a virtual crowd of clappers, controlling the empo of music, and a simple sampler. Preliminary ests indicate that rather than having total control via he interface, the user negotiates with the computer to control the tempo.
