This was my university project for HCI (Human Computer Interaction). We designed a new interaction concept and developed an intuitive haptic music instrument that anyone can play and where no special skills are required.

There are 5 rows and 8 columns. Every row is responsible for one tone. Columns are played one after the other in a loop. If there is a glass ball in the gap, a note is activated. If several balls are placed in a column, they form a chord.

and finally... the prototype
