Novel gestural technologies for musicians with physical disability

该项目旨在通过开发创新的、易于使用的手势乐器来解决澳大利亚音乐产业中残疾人代表性不足的问题。这个跨学科项目与主要的行业合作伙伴YourDNA Creative Arts（一个无障碍艺术组织）合作，希望在仪器设计、包容性技术和创造性人工智能方面产生新的知识。使用混合方法，预期结果包括具有社会包容性的音乐和表演，经济参与以及残疾音乐家的健康和福祉。这将通过打破阻碍他们有效参与社会的障碍，为澳大利亚社会带来重大利益。

This project aims to address the under-representation of people with disability in the Australian music industry by developing innovative, accessible gestural instruments. Teaming up with key industry partner, YourDNA Creative Arts, an accessibler arts organisation, this interdisciplinary project expects to generate new knowledge in instrument design, inclusive technology and creative artificial intelligence. Using mixed-methodologies, expected outcomes include music and performance which is socially inclusive, economic participation, and the health and well-being of musicians with disability. This should provide significant benefits to Australian society by breaking down barriers that hinder their effective participation in society.
