Abstract
We describe the development of a new ubiquitous music metaphor for creative action involving the use of hand gestures, Handy. The metaphor was deployed through two proof-of-concept, low-cost prototypes based either on motion sensors connected to an embedded micro-controller (Handy H) or by repurposing the webcam of a portable computer (Handy S). The evaluations showed positive results (slightly better with musicians than with non-musicians) in the following factors: ease of use and productivity (Handy H); engagement, productivity and collaboration support (Handy S). We discuss the implications of this outcome, targeting the interaction with the Internet of Musical Things.
