Abstract
Hot Summer Afternoon is a sound performance which uses VR as performance space. The new controller-free hand tracking feature of Oculus Quest allows users to monitor their hands inside of the VR world. Some hand gestures as well as the position of spawned objects in VR are mapped with different sound parameters using machine learning. The aim of this project is to explore the embodiment of the performer’s musical expression with hands inside of the immersive virtual environment.
