This presentation demonstrates an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary project that involves the creation of an interactive computer application involving the fields of music education, music performance, acoustical engineering, and computer science. Typical music computer programs or “apps” usually involve creative strategies to explore various techniques for teaching the elements of music theory, history or composition and often use computer generated characters and music. This “app” is quite different in that it allows users to explore (tap, touch, pinch-to-zoom) actual performances through video; they can seamlessly “walk” through the orchestra, band or choir, and as they move around the audio changes according to where they are situated. Imagine “Google street view” with seamless video and audio instead of connected still photos and no sound.
