AHA with "Drum Everywhere" at the DAGA 2019 in Rostock, Germany

"DrumEverywhere – An augmented reality drumkit using Pure Data"

This article at the DAGA conference of the German Society for Acoustics (DEGA) discusses the concept and the implementation of a pure data patch for creating an AR drumset. Any real object with a relatively hard surface , e.g. a table top, a clothes rack or a teapot can be used. By means of a sensor (for example a piezo) a vibration signal is measured at the object. Thus, every physical object can be transformed into a percussive musical instrument.
