Abstract

We have developed a gestural controller for a multimodal client suite using a sudden motion sensor (SMS) deployed with many modern laptop computers. Interpreted commands inferred from the SMS accelerometer can be used to adjust position---orientation and location---of egocentric perspectives and exocentric avatars to control panoramic browsing and spatialized sound, adjusting the lateralization, directionalization, and spatialization of musical and audio channels.
