Bluetooth

Hello,

In the past year I've been working on my MA thesis in Music Technology at Bar-Ilan University in which I explore new possibilities for music consumption through social interaction. The concept is to let participants in a social gathering the opportunity to "generate" the music for themselves instead of hearing pre-composed music passively.
You can find more information regarding the research in the following paper (which will be published in the HCI2013 proceedings next July):

To achieve the research goals I started to develop relative indoor positioning technology based on Bluetooth. I started by developing my own Android application for this purpose but after all I decided to implement my work into ScenePlayer and found it very convenient. More information can be found at the source code wiki.

I think that the advantages of implementing the technology into ScenePlayer is clear. Mostly that lots of artists would be able to create "position aware" scenes using cheap relative indoor positioning technology.

Some artist have already show interest in the system. I'm working with them to help them implement the technology and create scenes for their own artistic needs.

I would like to hear from you what do you think about the project and if it possible to add it to the main branch of ScenePlayer.

Thanks a lot,
Tom Gurion
