Abstract :
We present a human-centered gestural system for musical improvisation, MIND. We demonstrate the relationship between music composition and programming. Preliminary field data from contextual inquiries in an elderly care setting suggest that the MIND system would be accessible to this population. A benefit of the system is the multimodal interaction technique through the invisible interface.
