About Ovo Melody Función Principal: Xoguete Musical
Texto do Libro: Ovo Melody é un xoguete musical deseñado para xogadores de calquera idade con pouco ou ningún coñecemento musical. Os nodos colócanse en pistas, e unha bóla cun sensor magnético rola cara abaixo e le a forza de cada imán do nodo para identificar a escala musical. Os datos envíanse despois por Bluetooth a unha estación base, que reproduce o son. A base contén diferentes instrumentos, polo que se pode seleccionar trompeta, piano ou guitarra cambiando a parte inferior. A notación braille marca cada compoñente e as tarxetas de instrucións, de xeito que as persoas con discapacidade visual tamén poidan recrear melodías coñecidas ou compoñer novas.
