Sound scope headphones

This paper describes the Sound Scope Headphones which enable the user to control an audio mixer through natural movements of the head and hands. This allows musical novices to interact closely with the music they listen to. Commercial audio mixers are too complicated for musical novices to properly control the multi-channel volumes and panpots. Our headphone device controls an audio mixer using three sensors mounted on the headphones to detect movements of the user when listening to music.
