Topic

Design of telematic interfaces and environments for musical creation.

Methodology

Information and research: collection and ordering of user experience and material related to the particular case or problem.
Analysis: decomposition of the contextual system into demands, requirements or conditions that are built from the constant dialogue with the user.
Synthesis: proposal of valid criteria for most of the requirements and that the whole is manifested in a structured and coherent whole called formal response to the problem, this is built and validated at each step of its approach with the use of tests, tests and interviews with users.
Evaluation: substantiation of the formal answer in contrast with the reality and the needs supplied to the user. Based on this methodology, the methodological procedure for the research is presented below.

Summary of the project

This research focuses on the design of interfaces and the evaluation of telematic audiovisual systems, which allow creators, artists, performers and interpreters to experiment with spaces, sounds, images, collaborative and collective expressions in telematic environments.

Based on human-computer interaction (HCI) approaches and third-wave usability methods, which address elements that focus more on how people relate to each other through the use of technologies and less on how the user accomplishes his or her tasks, a series of user studies are carried out on different prototypes designed and developed for this purpose.

Some distributed performative participations are also studied in order to find inflection points and useful characteristics that help the proposals of previous prototypes, as well as the construction of a prototype driven by collaboration and evaluation techniques, central axis of the research, which seeks to design a space for collective communication between artists, performers and telematic interpreters.
