Virtual Strings is an interactive virtual instrument project that reinterprets the structure and performance gestures of violin-family instruments in a digital environment. Instead of visualizing sound through conventional data such as frequency or waveforms, the project focuses on the physical process through which an instrument produces sound. Curved forms and bowing gestures derived from the violin and its performer were reconstructed as a new 3D virtual instrument, combining physical-modeling-based sound with real-time graphics. A custom-built physical interface allows users to directly influence the sound and movement of the virtual instrument in real time.
