About Ovo Melody Mainan Musik
Ovo Melody adalah mainan musik yang dirancang untuk pemain dari segala usia dengan sedikit atau tanpa pengetahuan musik. Simpul-simpul (node) diletakkan pada lintasan, dan sebuah bola dengan sensor magnetik menggelinding turun serta membaca kekuatan magnet setiap simpul untuk mengenali tangga nada. Data tersebut kemudian dikirim melalui Bluetooth ke stasiun basis, yang memainkan suaranya. Basis ini memuat berbagai instrumen, sehingga terompet, piano, atau gitar dapat dipilih dengan mengganti bagian bawahnya. Notasi Braille menandai setiap komponen dan kartu petunjuknya, sehingga penyandang tunanetra juga dapat menciptakan kembali melodi yang telah dikenal atau menggubah melodi baru.
