Abstract
In this paper, we present ImaginationTOOLS, a software which uses mathematical models to generate, analyse and synthesize sound and music. User learns in an imaginary 3D-city basic concepts on mathematical models and music by interacting with pedagogical agents; composes in a laboratory room using a manipulatory agent-like interface; listens to music in an immersive room and creates interactive music with ad-hoc designed instruments and performs and shares music on the net. It represents a real advancement on the existing similar scientificallyoriented products available on the market and it is considered a fusion of different music and multimedia technologies, with a strong developmental trend into physical interaction design. It is the first software using 3D interaction in a 3D environment to produce sound and music, extending the potential of musicians by experimenting in the psycho-acoustical domain of sound and overcoming the problems of musical education, with simple interface.
