About Ovo Melody Musikalescht Spillzeug

Ovo Melody ass e musikalescht Spillzeug, dat fir Spiller vun all Alter mat wéineg oder guer kenger musikalescher Kenntnis entwéckelt gouf. Noden ginn op Schinne placéiert, an eng Kugel mat engem magnéiteschen Sensor rullt erof a liest d'Stäerkt vun all Nodemagnéit, fir d'musikalesch Tonleeder z'identifizéieren. D'Donnéeën ginn dono per Bluetooth un eng Basisstatioun geschéckt, déi den Toun ofspillt. D'Basis huet verschidde Instrumenter, sou datt Trompett, Piano oder Gittar duerch d'Wiesselen vum ënneschten Deel ausgewielt kënne ginn. Braille-Schrëft markéiert all Komponent an d'Instruktiounskaarten, sou datt och siichtbehënnert Persounen bekannte Melodien nostellen oder nei komponéiere kënnen.

Research: The instructional cards are the musical scores of melodies in preset arrangements with movable square locators on each card to enable a visually impaired person to find the musical note on the card then to find the corresponding node to attach to the tracks.
Inspiration: This project started as a set of toy for anyone in any age/background to enjoy music, but it became much more than just a set of toy.

Project Duration: The project started in 2019 in Taipei and planed to finish in Dec 2020.
