摘要

在今日的現場演奏表演中，所需架設的無線耳內與個人監聽系統，不僅設備體積龐大，而且訊號線路繁雜。本論文開發之「演奏家」無線耳內與個人監聽系統，不僅較現行硬體設備更易架設及操作、控制更迅速、而且成本更低廉，因為所有設備皆整合至音樂家們人手一台的行動裝置上。兩項使用者研究結果顯示「演奏家」系統之使用者介面，反應速度能達到傳統混音器之兩倍以上。另外，本系統引入之視覺化特徵能有效降低其音軌識別的難度，使得本系統較傳統的硬體設備更容易使用。

For live music performances, current Wireless In-Ear Monitoring and Personal Mixing setups require a lot of equipment and wiring.
This paper introduces Giggler, a system that makes a Wireless In-Ear Monitoring and Personal Mixing experience, easier to setup, easier to use, faster to control and more accessible for musicians than conventional systems by integrating all equipment into one mobile device per musician.
The results of the two user studies that we conducted show that Giggler's User Interface performs up to more than twice as fast as a traditional mixer and indicate that Giggler outperforms a Physical mixer because visual features are added to streamline the channel identification process.
