About Ovo Melody Tónlistarleikfang
Ovo Melody er tónlistarleikfang hannað fyrir leikmenn á öllum aldri, með litla eða enga tónlistarþekkingu. Hnútum er komið fyrir á brautum og kúla með segulskynjara rennur niður og les styrk hvers hnútsegulmagns til að greina tónstigann. Gögnin eru síðan send með Bluetooth til grunnstöðvar, sem spilar hljóðið. Grunnstöðin hýsir mismunandi hljóðfæri, svo hægt er að velja trompet, píanó eða gítar með því að skipta um botnhlutann. Blindraletur merkir hvern hluta og leiðbeiningaspjöldin, svo sjónskert fólk getur einnig endurskapað þekkt lög eða samið ný.
