Despite the advancements in sensor data processing for composition, performance, and pedagogy, interface design remains a critical bottleneck for the real-world implementation of these sensor-embedded devices. Our study introduces MetaBow, a low-cost, nonintrusive frog design for violin bows that can accommodate either a standard sensor kit or a custom-designed board. This interface eliminates the need for additional physical training and maintains the integrity of traditional violin performance mechanisms. We thus view MetaBow as heralding a new era in digital music interface design for the violin family with the potential for seamless human\u2013computer and human\u2013machine collaboration in music practice and performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1162\/comj_a_00683","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,18]],"date-time":"2024-06-18T20:23:09Z","timestamp":1718742189000},"page":"5-20","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1162\/mitpressjournals.corrections.policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Rethinking Instrumental Interface Design: The MetaBow"],"prefix":"10.1162","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Roberto","family":"Alonso Trillo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"AST 801, 8\/F, Sing Tao Building Ho Sin Hang Campus Hong Kong Baptist University 224 Waterloo Road, Kowloon Tong Kowloon, Hong Kong robertoalonso@hkbu.edu.hk"}]},{"given":"Peter A.
