Speculations

• Extrapolating, we might predict that live performances will be ``technology enhanced'' in increasingly subtle ways.

• There is always room for new controller interfaces, enabling new kinds of live performance.

• Audio and visual experiences can be much more tightly integrated than is typical now.

• ``Virtual Environments'' will become more complete, compelling, and interactive.

• Traditional musical instruments could evolve into controllers for virtual musical instruments.
  • The Serafin & Young Virtual Violin Project is one example
  • Controllers need not be responsible for the final sound
