Human-Sound Interaction (HSI) workshop

The design of interactions with sound and audio processes is a seminal activity in the creation of a performance, installation, a virtual sound environment, or interface for musical expression. The interaction design is often fixated by the interface without taking into account human factors and our diverse abilities to perceive the sound and interface affordances. The Human-Sound Interaction (HSI) workshop is a half-day workshop that investigates principles of interaction design with sound. This workshop with the human at the centre of the design in a collaborative, interactive, inclusive and diverse environment. This workshop will look at Human-Centered Interaction Design (HCID) aspects that determine the realisation and appreciation of musical works (installations, composition and performance), interfaces for sound design and musical expression, augmented instruments, sonic aspects of virtual environments (VR/AR/MR), interactive audiovisual dance performances. Participants are invited to a 3-hours interactive session with hands-on design activities.
