Florent Berthaut

Marie Curie Research Fellow"

Introduction

My research aims at exploring the opportunities brought by virtual and augmented reality interfaces for musical performance. In this context, I study 3D representations of sound processes and musical structures and I develop 3D interaction devices and techniques matching the constraints of musical  interaction. I also study musical collaboration in virtual environments and  scenography/displays for performances with immersive virtual musical instruments. I received my PhD at the University of Bordeaux, France in 2010 on the subject "Building, Manipulating and Visualizing Sound Processes in Immersive Virtual Environments for Musical Performance". Two main projects integrate results of my research: Drile, an immersive musical instrument based on hierarchical live-looping, and Rouages, a 3D mixed-reality visualization system for digital musical instruments. Details on my current research can be found on http://hitmuri.net

The Bristol Interaction Group is a creative interdisciplinary team with a mission to improve peoples’ lives through the design of better technologies. We study interactions between humans and technology, design novel interfaces and devices, critically examine social and environmental impact, and deploy and evaluate new interaction paradigms in everyday life settings. We follow responsible innovation principles and seek to promote creativity and opportunities for science and innovation that are socially desirable and undertaken in the public interest. Our biggest strength is our diversity: we are computer scientists, psychologists, social scientists, human factors engineers, material engineers and artists, and we draw from and create innovative synergies across a wide range of disciplines.
