Understanding quantum mechanics is inherently challenging due to its counterintuitive principles. Quantum Intuition XR is an interactive, extended reality (XR) experience designed to make quantum concepts tangible. Our system visualizes core principles of quantum computing, including qubits, superposition, entanglement, and measurement, through imm...

AlloThresher is a multimodal instrument based on granu-lar synthesis using the gestural interface. Granular synthesis is a sound synthesis method that creates complex tones by combining and mixing the simple micro-sonic elements called grains. Using two smartphones with gyroscopes and accelerometers in both hands, the user can precisely and spontan...

Mindfulness has been studied and practiced in enhancing psychological well-being while reducing neuroticism and psychopathological indicators. However, practicing mindfulness with continuous attention is challenging, especially for beginners. In the proposed system, FractalBrain, we utilize an interactive audiovisual fractal with a geometric repeti...

This project aims to transform the nano-scale of a striking biological phenomenon, the relationship between the SARS-CoV-2 virus and human molecules, into an interactive audiovisual simulation. In this work, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) touching and imaging a single molecule measures the interaction between the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and huma...

In this paper, Entangled, a multi-modal instrument in virtual 3D space with sound, graphics, and the smartphone-based gestural interface for multi-user is introduced. Within the same network, the players can use their smartphone as the controller by entering a specific URL into their smartphone’s browser. After joining the network, by actuating the...

Conducting is one of the most exquisitely developed connections between music and gestural activity. In this paper, we propose a system that can interact with music sources using a gyroscope and accelerometer-based controller inspired by conducting activity. The system gives interactive and intuitive musical experiences to the user with the existin...

Reverberation causes a performance degradation in distinct speech processing. For this reason, quantitatively estimating the amount of reverberation from the signal received by the microphone has been an important task for characterizing room acoustics and compensating for degradation due to an algorithm. In this paper, a novel method that estimate...

Distant speech recognition is a challenge, particularly due to the corruption of speech signals by reverberation caused by large distances between the speaker and microphone. In order to cope with a wide range of reverberations in real-world situations, we present novel approaches for acoustic modeling including an ensemble of deep neural networks...
