What is a musical instrument? What are the musical instruments of the future? This anthology presents thirty papers selected from the fifteen year long history of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME). NIME is a leading music technology conference, and an important venue for researchers and artists to present and discuss their explorations of musical instruments and technologies. Each of the papers is followed by commentaries written by the original authors and by leading experts. The volume covers important developments in the field, including the earliest reports of instruments like the reacTable, Overtone Violin, Pebblebox, and Plank. There are also numerous papers presenting new development platforms and technologies, as well as critical reflections, theoretical analyses and artistic experiences. The anthology is intended for newcomers who want to get an overview of recent advances in music technology. The historical traces, meta-discussions and reflections will also be of interest for longtime NIME participants. The book thus serves both as a survey of influential past work and as a starting point for new and exciting future developments.

Gesture Recognition: Theory and Applications covers this important topic in computer science and language technology that has a goal of interpreting human gestures via mathematical algorithms. The book begins by examining the computer vision-based gesture recognition method, focusing on the theory and related research results of various recent gesture recognition technologies. The book takes the evolutions of gesture recognition technology as a clue, systematically introducing gesture recognition methods based on handcrafted features, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, multimodal data fusion, and visual attention mechanisms.Three gesture recognition-based HCI (Human Computer Interaction) practical cases are introduced. Finally, the book looks at emerging research trends and application. - Focuses on the theory and application of gesture recognition, providing a systematic introduction to commonly used datasets in the field as well as algorithms based on handcrafted features, convolutional neural networks, multimodal fusion, and attention mechanisms - Introduces the practical applications of gesture recognition in real-world scenarios, enabling readers to enhance their practical application skills while learning about relevant technologies - Demonstrates four main categories of gesture recognition methods and analyzes their associated challenges

Due to the rise of new applications in electronic appliances and pervasive devices, automated hand gesture recognition (HGR) has become an area of increasing interest. HGR developments have come a long way from the traditional sign language recognition (SLR) systems to depth and wearable sensor-based electronic devices. Where the former are more laboratory-oriented frameworks, the latter are comparatively realistic and practical systems. Based on various gestural traits, such as hand postures, gesture recognition takes different forms. Consequently, different interpretations can be associated with gestures in various application contexts. A considerable amount of research is still needed to introduce more practical gesture recognition systems and associated algorithms. Challenges and Applications for Hand Gesture Recognition highlights the state-of-the-art practices of HGR research and discusses key areas such as challenges, opportunities, and future directions. Covering a range of topics such as wearable sensors and hand kinematics, this critical reference source is ideal for researchers, academicians, scholars, industry professionals, engineers, instructors, and students.
