Hey all, in case someone is interested here's my recently finished master thesis: http://grrrr.org/pub/grill-2008-master-2d_gesture_mapping.pdf or in very compact form, as a presentation poster: http://grrrr.org/pub/grill-2008-master-poster.pdf
This thesis describes a novel, fairly general and (for the player)
non-technical interface concept for software-based music instruments.
The actual proof-of-concept instrument has been realized using pd and
gem (with a number of optimized flext-based external objects to make
it all possible on current hardware).
