Abstract

BeatCatch is a high -level input device for creating and exploring rhythms. The focus of this work is on the expression and aesthetics of the interaction design, the level of control of the output perceived by the user and the width of the user group, stretching from novices to professionals. The BeatCatch prototype is made as an interactive metronome, which gives audile, visual and tactile feedback.
