ABSTRACT

The goal of Distributed Immersive Performance (DIP) is to allow
musicians to collaborate synchronously over distance.  Remote
collaboration over the Internet poses many challenges such as delayed
auditory and visual feedback to the musicians and a reduced sense of
presence of the other musicians.  We are systematically studying the
effects of performing under remote conditions so as to guide the
development of systems that will best enable remote musical
collaboration.

First, we present a narrative of our evolving distributed performance
experiments leading up to our current framework for the capture,
recording and replay of high-resolution video, audio and MIDI streams
in an interactive collaborative performance environment.  Next, we
discuss the results of user-based experiments for determining the
effects of, and a partial solution to, latency in auditory feedback on
performers' satisfaction with the ease of creating a tight ensemble, a
musical interpretative and adaptation to the conditions.
