Reactive directional microphones. Using directional microphones and addressable LEDs, we could create a visualization of the pattern of sound in a room. This could take the form of a small desktop model, suitable for placement on a table, or a set of microphones hanging from the ceiling of a room with a map of the…
A Pokemon battle simulator. I remember when I was younger everybody wanted to use any Pokemon from any generation and battle them, but the game never supported anything like this. It would be great to have every gen included and available to play as. Possibly even have multiplayer connectivity so anybody can battle anybody else…
Idea #1: Augmented reality/virtual reality application for designing shoes/clothes. Often times when designing any footwear or clothes, seeing the working product online or on paper is different than seeing the product being worn in person. Being able to preview how a product would appear on a person (particularly a consumer) would aid in the design…
I am very interested in exploring virtual reality/augmented reality/mixed reality. If possible, I would like to take advantage of the creative nature of this class to implement an idea with VR/AR/MR technology. Idea 1: Experience life in someone else’s shoes. An example of this could be a game with certain tasks, like gathering information or…
A game in VR where two users have to navigate out of a maze, but they can only see from each other’s perspective. The mazes are not connected (i.e. they are in different virtual spaces) so they have to constantly work with each other. They would be in separate rooms so as not to run…

A website for finding open source projects to collaborate with others. GitHub currently has no way of searching for brand-new projects or people who are seeking collaborators. People with ideas could find collaborators and people who just want to try open source can find projects to contribute to. Interactive collaborative real-time coding—think jupyter notebooks but live…
Theremin with phones that plays in a web browser. One hand controls the pitch, the other controls the volume. The web page could have a visual bit that interacts with the music as you play A phone app/web application that allows for collaborative photo editing. A google docs/Photoshop mix.
One idea that I have for the project is to create a video game that simulates bipolar disorder. Essentially, the video game will become easier or more chaotic at random rates. There will be 4 or 5 pills in which to collect. One of these pills makes you win the game while the others, although…
I am Shan Ding, a senior in computer science. This is my last semester at Virginia Tech, and I hope I will enjoy it. BTW, I love cats! I take this course because I think I can do something related to music(at least maybe). I play guitar and a little bit of piano. This summer,…
