What it does
Our Android app utilizes the built-in orientation sensor and accelerometer to analyze the user’s motions and convert them into the music of one of two air instruments: guitar or violin. Based on the gestures made in the air with the phone, the notes of the instrument are played.
How we built it
We used Android Studio and two Android phones for testing to create this application.
Challenges we ran into
Once we retrieved data from the phone’s sensors, one of the biggest challenges we faced was interpreting the data in a meaningful way that translated to movement.
What we learned
We discovered and explored the different motion and position sensors that Android phones possess. After sufficient experimentation, we were able to determine which sensors were best used for our purposes.
What's next for Airochord
We can improve on accuracy and precision of movements. We also can add a larger variety of instruments that can be played such as the piano. Also, we can improve the user interface.
