The Design
About Ovo Melody Musikalsk leketøy
Ovo Melody er et musikalsk leketøy designet for spillere i alle aldre med liten eller ingen musikalsk kunnskap. Noder plasseres på spor, og en kule med en magnetisk sensor ruller nedover og leser styrken til hver nodemagnet for å identifisere den musikalske skalaen. Dataene sendes deretter via Bluetooth til en basestasjon, som spiller av lyden. Basen inneholder forskjellige instrumenter, slik at trompet, piano eller gitar kan velges ved å bytte den nederste delen. Blindeskrift markerer hver komponent og instruksjonskortene, slik at også synshemmede kan gjenskape kjente melodier eller komponere nye.
