Abstract:

EyeLa is an accessible digital musical instrument (DMI) augmented reality (AR) app and rhythm game, designed for the musical engagement of children with multiple disabilities. It makes available head and eye movements as alternative input methods that are more intuitive and better aligned with natural body movements, empowering children with limited mobility to actively participate in music-making. EyeLa has also been made available as a rhythm game, lowering barriers to musical participation through game-based interaction that is accessible, motivating, and inclusive.
