Con-GAS

January 30, 2004
Con-GAS is a joint European research program focusing on Gesture Controlled Audio Systems. The main objective is "to significantly contribute to the advancement of the development of different gesture data analysis and capture/actuation aspects connected to the control of digital sound and music processing."

The industry of digital musical instruments and devices is well developed in Europe (particularly so in Italy France Germany and United Kingdom) however devices taken into consideration by this industrial field do not go much farther than keyboards and sliders. Extra-European industries (particularly north- American and Japanese) do reserve deeper attention to different control and gesture schemes for digital sound devices."
