About Ovo Melody Musikalsk legetøj
Ovo Melody er et musikalsk legetøj designet til spillere i alle aldre med lidt eller ingen musikalsk viden. Noder placeres på skinner, og en kugle med en magnetisk sensor ruller ned og aflæser styrken af hver nodemagnet for at identificere tonetrinet. Dataene sendes derefter via Bluetooth til en basestation, som afspiller lyden. Basen rummer forskellige instrumenter, så trompet, klaver eller guitar kan vælges ved at skifte bunddelen. Braille-notation markerer hver komponent og instruktionskortene, så også synshæmmede kan genskabe kendte melodier eller komponere nye.
