Se ha demostrado que las tecnologías de música digital en combinación con sensores y software cuidadosamente escrito fomentan el ejercicio , la alegría y la interacción social entre personas con una amplia gama de capacidades, incluidos niños con discapacidades físicas o mentales graves. Este artículo describe la MotionComposer y algunas de sus posibles aplicaciones terapéuticas en centros sociopediátricos.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass digitale Musiktechnologien
in Kombination mit Sensoren und sorgfältig
geschriebener Software Bewegung, Freude und
soziale Interaktion bei Menschen mit unterschiedlichsten
Fähigkeiten anregen, auch bei
Kindern mit schweren körperlichen oder geistigen
Einschränkungen. Dieser Artikel beschreibt
den MotionComposer und einige seiner möglichen
therapeutischen Anwendungen in sozialpädiatrischen
Zentren.
Over the past two decades, a small
number of music and dance artists have been
using sensors such as video cameras to essentially
turn human movement into music. They have
found that by carefully choosing the movements,
the sounds, and the correlation between the
two (»mapping«), it is possible to awaken
the instinct for music that often lies dormant
inside us. This allows anyone to suddenly feel
musical with their bodies. One such artist –
engineer teams has applied these techniques to
an interactive therapy device. It can stimulate
movement, joy and social interaction in persons
with a wide range of abilities, including children
with severe physical or mental limitations.
This paper describes the device and some of
its possible therapeutic applications in social
pediatric centers.
