Child/machine interaction in reflexive environment. The MIROR platform

This paper introduces the MIROR Platform, an innovative adaptive device for music and dance education, proposed in the framework of the EU-ICT project MIROR-Musical Interaction Relying On Reflexion. In concluding the MIROR project, 3 software applications (MIROR-Impro, MIROR-Compo and MIROR-Body Gesture) and the draft version of the User’s and Teacher’s Guides have been accomplished. In this paper, the technological and pedagogical principles of the MIROR platform, notably the “reflexive interaction” paradigm, the 3 applications and related experiments will be introduced. Finally, the draft of the full architecture of the platform is presented.
