- Production Technology
- Each node has a magnet with a different strength, so the ball with a magnetic sensor inside can recognize the difference and judge the musical scale. After detecting, the ball transmits the data to the base station by Bluetooth to play music.
- Design Challenge
- Visual disable experience to the most challenging part of this project. Each part of the project are marked with braille notation. By trying the prototype, the team adjust the positions of braille, and show it as what present.
- 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.
- Operation Flow
- This toy instrument is made for preschool to adult players with little or no musical knowledge and specifically using braille notation it is for visually impaired person's enjoyment.
