The Internet of Multisensory, Multimedia, and Musical Things (Io3MT) bridges computer science, humanities, and arts, fostering transmedia services and creative applications. This demo research applies these principles alongside extended reality (XR) to enhance PhysioDrum, an immersive, multimodal system that blends physical and digital aspects to expand musical expression in virtual environments. Using a smart musical instrument (SMI) and electronic pedals as interfaces, users interact with a virtual drum kit through gestures while receiving haptic feedback. By integrating sound and multimedia elements, PhysioDrum aims to reduces cognitive load and the learning curve, merging traditional drumming practices with immersive XR. The demo emphasizes design strategies that enhance playability, accessibility, and creative potential for users of all skill levels.

The Internet of Multisensory, Multimedia and Musical Things (Io3MT) is a new concept that arises from the confluence of several areas of computer science, arts, and humanities, with the objective of grouping in a single place devices and data that explore the five human senses, besides multimedia aspects and music content. In the context of this brave new idea paper, we advance the proposition of a theoretical alignment between the emerging domain in question and the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The main goal of this endeavor is to tentatively delineate the inceptive trends and conceivable consequences stemming from the fusion of these domains within the sphere of artistic presentations. Our comprehensive analysis spans a spectrum of dimensions, encompassing the automated generation of multimedia content, the real-time extraction of sensory effects, and post-performance analytical strategies. In this manner, artists are equipped with quantitative metrics that can be employed to enhance future artistic performances. We assert that this cooperative amalgamation has the potential to serve as a conduit for optimizing the creative capabilities of stakeholders.
