Experience Description:


    This work presents a new platform for performing one-man orchestra (Figure 1). The conductor is the only human involved, who uses traditional bimanual conducting gestures to interactively direct the performance of smartphones instead of human performers in a real-world orchestra. Each smartphone acts as a virtual performer who plays a certain music instrument like piano and violin. Our work not only allows ordinary people to experience music conducting but also provides a training platform so that students can practice music conducting with a unique listening experience.
