Abstract

In this paper we present G-tunes, a music player that couples tangible interface with digital music. The design is done based on the research of tangible interface and interaction engineering. We offer an overview of design concept, explain the prototyping and discuss the result. One of the goals of this project is to create rich experiences for people to play music; another goal is to explore how external physical expressions relate to human's inner perception and emotion, and how we can couple this with the design of a tangible music player.
