Computer DJ uses biofeedback to pick tracks November 16, 2001 |
Source: New Scientist A computerised DJ that uses feedback from
the dancers to generate new music has been developed by
artificial intelligence experts at Hewlett-Packard.Each clubber
has a device like a wristwatch that monitors their location,
heart and perspiration rate, and movement and feeds info back to
the “HPDJ” via a wireless link. To create a song, the HPDJ
chooses tracks from a large library and then modifies and
overlays them, based on this data, using a genetic algorithm to
determine which tracks survive.
