Fully Funded PhD Studentship in Tracking Technologies in Music: Uni. Southampton, UK
We have funding from the Arts & Humanities Research Council (UK) for a PhD studentship based in the Faculty of Humanities (Music) and in collaboration with the Faculty of Health Sciences, the London Sinfonietta and Sound Intermedia.
The project sets out to evaluate the application of optical motion tracking systems for controlling sound in live music performance through tracking hands, fingers and marked objects. This multi-disciplinary research will be based on three systems of control embodying state-of-the-art research, affordable consumer and low-cost bespoke technologies and will involve working with the HAWK (Hand And Wrist Kinematics) software platform developed at the University of Southampton for analysis of functional hand movements in the field of biomechanics.
For more information, please see: https://www.southampton.ac.uk/humani...dentship.page?
This project will be supervised by Dr Richard Polfreman (Faculty of Humanities: Music) and Dr Cheryl Metcalf (Faculty of Health Sciences: Biomechanics).
Expressions of interest, and enquiries in advance of application should be directed to Dr Richard Polfreman (r.polfreman@soton.ac.uk).
