We made a prototype this week to walk through the process we discussed last week. After that, we met with our instructors and confirmed our final deliverables and directions we want to pursue.
Also we divided our projects into several modules so that our programmers can work concurrently.
Prototype
In this simple prototype, users can load a 3D object, modify the object, and generate a piece of melody. Our next step is to optimize our mapping algorithm from 3D object into music.
Challenges
After this prototype, we are about to start to build our web platform, which means we are leaving our convenient Unity zone to a brand new area – web development. However, we are fortunate to have three talented programmers in our team so it is just a matter of time.
Another big task for this project is to map simple pitch sequences into a piece of melody. We need to work closely with our instructor – Jiyoung to make sure the mapping is smooth and musically harmonious. The road is long and we have much to learn.
Schedule for next week
Demo and presentation! We are going to further develop our prototype into a demo and present on the quarters presentation.
