Abstract

CaMus2 is a multi-user multi-phone extension of the CaMus system. Mobile camera phones use their cameras to track position, rotation, height, and other parameters over a marker sheet to allow interactive performance of music. Multiple camera phones can use the same or separate marker sheets and send their interaction parameters via Bluetooth to a computer where the sensor information is converted to MIDI format to allow control of a wide range of sound generation and manipulation hardware and software. The semantics of the mapping of MIDI message to performance parameters of the camera interactions are fed back into the visualization on the camera phone.
