Outline of Final Research Achievements

Enbodied interaction has emerged in recent years as a discipline that integrates the physical, physiological, cognitive and emotional aspects of a person's complete interaction with a digital environment. We describe Vuzik, an application that allows users to manipulate and arrange music through whole body movement, and the user study with fourteen elementary students. Vuzik is designed to foster experiences in creative expression for children. The application responds to users' movements by changing music variables through their drawing picture with pallet and brush on the large display as canvas. The user study to compare existing tool suggests that Vuzik encourages grasp of the entire picture and improves ease of learning.
