Abstract

Disc-jockeys have come a long way but, as far as DJing tools are concerned, there are still few applications that support hands-on interaction over Virtual DJ systems, and those are typically reduced to traditional input devices. With direct user-feedback from an accompanying group of DJ experts accounted for, we propose a Virtual DJ system with natural interaction, paired with a low-learning curve and an emphasis in user-oriented design. Finally, in order to draw conclusions on the adequacy of multitouch towards DJing, our prototype was compared against standard DJ solutions by a panel of DJ experts.
