Assistive Music Browser on the IPhone

The goal of this project is to develop Assistive Music Browser Software that will enable users with severe disabilities to navigate
through their own collections of music via a variety of input methods. We extract relevant features and analyze the audio data within a collection
of music (of essentially unlimited size) and map the songs onto a 2-D space, called a self-organizing map, based on similarity. Continual audio
feedback is provided to the user as they search their collection to aide in navigation and selection. www.canassist.ca. Implementation on the iPhone by Darren Minifie (www.myavalon.ca).
