The Hyper-trapeze: A Physically Active Audio-Visual Interface for Performance and Play

This paper reports the design, implementation, and application of a new interface for augmenting performance and play on the low flying trapeze. Sensors were used to gauge the motion of the trapeze and performer, mapping the data to control interactive sound and animation. The interface was tested in the context of a new multimedia composition entitled “Autumn”.
