The Royal College of Music conference programme includes Dominik Ukolov’s contribution “Multimodal Virtual Enhancement of 3D Printed Musical Instruments”, exploring mixed-reality access to physical reproductions.

The research question behind the contribution#

The conference abstract considers mixed-reality textures and interaction tracking on a physical, 3D-printed instrument. The printed object provides a tactile point of reference while digital layers make further instrument information accessible. This is one route into the broader MODAVIS question of how material contact, documentation and virtual experience can be connected.

That contribution should be read at the scale of its stated investigation. A conference abstract documents a topic and proposal; it does not by itself establish the results of a comparative listening study or a general demonstration of historical authenticity.

Paths for a research conversation#

These are suggested starting points for an enquiry, not advertised upcoming events. A useful demonstration can begin with one fixed resource and a clear question, then follow its evidence through to the interface. Describing the intended audience and available setup makes it easier to choose a meaningful example and distinguish public materials from resources with restricted access.
