- 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.
The concept of this project came from a well-known infant toy that put a ball on a track and the ball will slide down from the track. - Project Duration
- The project started in 2019 in Taipei and planed to finish in Dec 2020.
