AlphaSphere: From prototype to product
Place, Adam; Lacey, Liam; Mitchell, Thomas J.
Abstract
This paper explores the design process of the AlphaSphere, an experimental new musical instrument that has transitioned into scale production and international distribution. Initially, the design intentions and engineering processes are covered.
The paper continues by briefly evaluating the user testing process and outlining the ergonomics, communication protocol and software of the device. The paper closes by questioning what it takes to evaluate success as a musical instrument.
