During the first two hours of the course we will give an introductory presentation to the course and discuss course registration issues.

We will also talk about sound with portable devices and sensors, and will  introduce the NaturalPoint motion capture system, the Arduino sensor platform, and Android OS.

Lecturers: Roberto Bresin, Kjetil Falkenberg Hansen, Ludvig Elblaus
