Abstract

In this paper, we describe an algorithm for the numerical evaluation of the orientation of an object to which a cluster of accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers has been attached. The algorithm is implemented through a set of Max/Msp and pd new externals. Through the successful implementation of the algorithm, we introduce Pointing-at, a new gesture device for the control of sound in a 3D environment. This work has been at the core of the Celeritas Project, an interdisciplinary research project on motion tracking technology and multimedia live performances between the Tyndall Institute of Cork and the Interaction Design Centre of Limerick.
