Personal Orchestra Documentation
Overview
Personal Orchestra 1 (Installed at The House of Music in Vienna, Austria in 2000)
- First Personal Orchestra exhibit
- Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra recordings
- Uses Buchla Baton, like PO3
- Recognices simple up-down gestures
- One computer for gesture recognition, another one for media reproduction
- No realtime time stretching, uses many pre-timestretched tracks, and switches between them at runtime
Personal Orchestra 2 (Installed at The Children's Museum in Boston, USA in 2003)
- Realtime time stretching
- Designed for children
- No real gesture recognition, only looks at the speed of the baton
- Completely new code base
Personal Orchestra 3 (Installed at The Betty Brinn Children's Museum in Milwaukee, USA in 2006)
- Much improved time stretching
- Adaptive gesture recognition, which can switch between wiggle/up down/4beat legato gestures
- Completely new code base, very modular
Personal Orchestra Lite (Technical demo using Eric's Semantic Time Framework v2)
- Very low latency
- Much less code, as STF2 does a lot more than STF1
- Another reason is, of course, that this version is still only a demo ;-)
Personal Orchestra 6
- installed at Haus der Musik, Vienna as a update to PO1 in fullHD resolution with new recordings
- used together with the MICON note stand
- Zubin Metha gives helpful advice before conducting
- subtitles
- helps the conductor at the beginning of the piece
- complete recode of the main application, separated the input plug-ins.
- deployment on MacOsX 10.5.8
Personal Orchestra 7
- Installed at the Technopolis childrens' science museum, Belgium in September 2009.
- slightly modified PO3 code base.
- deployment on MacOsX 10.5.8
Personal Orchestra 13
- Installed at the House of Music in Vienna in 2014 where it replaced PO6
- Installed at the Casa de la Musica in Puebla (three parallel installations)
- Major rewrite of large parts of the code
- QuickTime was removed entirely, video playback is now handled by AVFoundation and CoreMedia
- All code was made 64bit compatible
- All code was made to adopt ARC for memory management
- The Buchla Baton was replaced by a passive baton (reflective marker) being tracked by an OptiTrack Flex 3 mo-cap camera
