Wearable interfaces in voice performance

This bachelor thesis presents the development and evaluation of a wearable control interface designed to enhance the performances of experimental artists in the musical domain while overcoming limitations typically associated with existing control interfaces. Several technologies, materials and development methods have been thoroughly examined. Where it was eventually found that Trill and MuCa technology could have great potential in creating a wearable interface. Using comfortable, wearable and conductive materials these technologies were made into prototypes which eventually led to a final prototype based on Trill capacitive sensing technology. While evaluation sessions with artists showed the wearable interface to have significant potential in innovatively modulating sounds, there are still improvements to be made and possibilities for future research.
