Música e interação: aproximando a música digital da fisicalidade através da interface tangível

Abstract

The aim of this work is to propose a tangible user interface to recover parts of the experience of listening to music in physical formats. In addition, it aims to enhance the social factor, enable the exchange of musical experiences and introduce a playful way of interacting with modern musical interfaces. The project was developed using design tools from interface and interaction design, with in-depth research on the two subjects relevant to the project. The end result was an interaction concept with a narrative and a product project to consolidate it. The result of the process was a tangible interface concept and the elements needed to make it work. It wasn’t possible to work out all of the project’s developments within the time available, as it generated several different elements to be worked on: the physical product, the digital interface and the interaction processes, but the proposed objectives were still acomplished.
