<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana"><font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS">ur<span style='color:#548DD4'>Mus</span></font> is a meta-environment for live and interactive application design and programming on and for multi-touch mobile devices such as the iPhone. Rather than trying to offer one interaction paradigm (such as text input or graphical patching), urMus offers a way to create many different interactions, user interfaces and media experiences. It uses the fast script language Lua as a higher level language to allow suitable abstractions for interaction and interface design. It offers multiple routes to design interactions. Currently urMus offers a core engine for 2D graphical user interface and multi-touch interaction design. This allows virtually any interactive user interface to be realized in urMus using lua interface APIs familiar from computer games. It also offers a multi-rate multimedia data flow pipeline called urSound designed for on-the-fly patching of interactive multi-media data stream.
<p>
<font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS">ur<span style='color:#548DD4'>Mus</span></font> is accessible at multiple levels. At the most basic level it offers core functionality in C/C++. At a higher abstraction in the Lua there is access to APIs for UI design and interaction-driven events as well as the ability to create and modify multi-rate media data flow. At the highest level a user interface can be fully interactive hence one can design complex interactions without typing or accessing scripts.
<p>
<font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS">ur<span style='color:#548DD4'>Mus</span></font> is primarily a research platform. It allows for design-by-modification and hence allows to quickly prototype mobile interactions for user studies. It is also set up to help support research into creativity discovery and support.
However <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS">ur<span style='color:#548DD4'>Mus</span></font> can also be used for creative expression, mobile musical instrument design, rapid game prototype development and pedagogy. It has already been used in a class at the University of Michigan on mobile musical instrument design.
