About Ovo Melody Muzikāla rotaļlieta

Ovo Melody ir muzikāla rotaļlieta, kas paredzēta jebkura vecuma spēlētājiem ar minimālām vai nekādām muzikālām zināšanām. Mezgli tiek novietoti uz sliedēm, un bumbiņa ar magnētisko sensoru ripo lejup un nolasa katra mezgla magnēta stiprumu, lai noteiktu muzikālo skalu. Pēc tam dati tiek pārsūtīti pa Bluetooth uz bāzes staciju, kas atskaņo skaņu. Bāze ietver dažādus instrumentus, tāpēc, nomainot apakšējo daļu, var izvēlēties trompeti, klavieres vai ģitāru. Braila raksts marķē katru komponenti un instrukciju kartītes, tāpēc arī cilvēki ar redzes traucējumiem var atskaņot zināmas melodijas vai komponēt jaunas.
