We then compared four sources of timing information for musical beats to study differences in the results: the click track itself, manually annotated beats from observing the video, marker position data from the conductors&#8217; hands, and ground reaction force data from the force plate the conductors&#8217; stood on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were a number of findings in the paper, but interestingly we were able to extract the beats from the force plate data with comparable precision to using the hand marker, providing a potential means for capturing conducting beats in live performance in a non-intrusive manner (no hand-held controller or attached sensors) and without issues of lighting or line of sight associated with optical systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our paper can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1145\/3347122.3347139\">https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1145\/3347122.3347139<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Richard attended the 6th International Conference on Movement and Computing (MOCO 2019) in October in Tempe Arizona to present a paper titled Force &amp; Motion: Conducting to the Click.
