Music in the Digital Age: The OP-1 and other New Tools
The OP-1 is an instrument but, it’s probably unlike any instrument you have ever seen or played. In technical terms the OP-1 is a portable synthesizer, sampler, and controller. It is also one of the most popular instruments you’ve never heard of. Musicians such as Bon Iver, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Trent Reznor, and Childish Gambino…
Group 3: Location-Based Augmented Reality Graffiti
Our current working idea is to implement a web application meant to be used on mobile devices that will allow users to take advantage of augmented reality to share graffiti art on physical locations without them actually physically being there. Originally, all we had in mind was an app that would keep track of user…

Team Fournicorn Visualizer
Our project is a virtual reality project that takes any music and creates a visual experience out of it. There are many different basic visualizers out on the internet and even built into software such as iTunes, however there are no visualizers that truly encompass the user in a 3D environment, capturing their imagination and…

Most music visualizers on the market are pre-sequenced, while ours will react to music in the real time. The meaning of this project is to allow users a…
PulsR Project

Suppose you are working on a Systems project and the due date is coming up sooner than you anticipated. You grow more anxious with each fleeting moment, craving some auditory relief. Based…
Collaborative Visualizer – team 5
Our idea stems from the idea that not many, if any, instruments require the collaboration of multiple people, let alone provide a means to visualize the sound that it creates. This customizable and coordinated effort will allow users to have a unique experience all in a live setting. Drawing inspiration from the theremin, one of…
Creating Abstract Photographs Without Photoshop
With tools like photoshop, making abstract art has become increasingly easier to make. It created a revolution in not just digital mediums, but all art and graphics. Darkroom techniques that were unreliable or difficult for beginners to learn, such as Dodging and Burning, can easily be replicated perfectly and one hundred percent more reliable. The…
Team 6: Milestone 1

We plan on doing this by giving the users defined goals, but ambiguous rules, such as doing everyday tasks. Our goal is that users will empathize with those that have mental disorders and help…
