我们介绍并评估了EyeHarp，这是一种新的凝视控制数字乐器，旨在使严重运动障碍的人能够仅使用凝视作为控制机制来学习、表演和创作音乐。它包括(1)用于构建和弦/琶音的步序器层，以及(2)用于播放旋律和改变和弦/琶音的旋律层。我们从表演者和观众的角度对EyeHarp进行了试点评估，有39名非残疾参与者参与。在第一个案例中，8名视力正常且没有运动障碍的人参加了音乐演奏环节，其中收集了定量和定性数据。在第二个案例中，31人在音乐会上对EyeHarp进行了定性评估，该音乐会由两部分组成：独奏部分和合奏部分(EyeHarp、两把吉他和长笛)。研究结果表明，与传统乐器类似，所提出的数字乐器有一个陡峭的学习曲线，并允许从表演者和观众的角度产生富有表现力的表演。
We present and evaluate the EyeHarp, a new gaze-controlled Digital Musical Instrument, which aims to enable people with severe motor disabilities to learn, perform, and compose music using only their gaze as control mechanism. It consists of (1) a step-sequencer layer, which serves for constructing chords/arpeggios, and (2) a melody layer, for playing melodies and changing the chords/arpeggios. We have conducted a pilot evaluation of the EyeHarp involving 39 participants with no disabilities from both a performer and an audience perspective. In the first case, eight people with normal vision and no motor disability participated in a music-playing session in which both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. In the second case 31 people qualitatively evaluated the EyeHarp in a concert setting consisting of two parts: a solo performance part, and an ensemble (EyeHarp, two guitars, and flute) performance part. The obtained results indicate that, similarly to traditional music instruments, the proposed digital musical instrument has a steep learning curve, and allows to produce expressive performances both from the performer and audience perspective.
