Abstract:
We designed the Sound Scope Headphones so that they would let users control an audio mixer through natural movements, and thus enable a musical novice to separately listen to each player’s performance. The main advantage of the headphones is that they detect natural movement, such as head movement or placing a hand behind an ear, and uses the detected movements to control an audio mixer while the user listens to music. Three sensors are mounted on the headphones: a digital compass, a tilt sensor, and a distance sensor (Figure 1).
