About Ovo Melody Musical Toy (Laruang Pangmusika)

Ang Ovo Melody ay isang laruang pangmusika na idinisenyo para sa mga manlalaro ng anumang edad na may kaunti o walang kaalaman sa musika. Ang mga node ay inilalagay sa mga track, at isang bola na may magnetic sensor ang gumugulong pababa at binabasa ang lakas ng bawat magnet ng node upang matukoy ang musical scale. Ang datos ay ipinapadala pagkatapos sa pamamagitan ng Bluetooth patungo sa isang base station, na siyang nagpapatugtog ng tunog. Ang base ay naglalaman ng iba't ibang instrumento, kaya maaaring piliin ang trumpeta, piyano, o gitara sa pamamagitan ng pagpapalit ng ibabang bahagi. May markang Braille notation ang bawat bahagi at ang mga instruction card, upang ang mga taong may kapansanan sa paningin ay makapag-recreate din ng mga kilalang himig o makalikha ng mga bago.
