An Fun Application of Wavelet Processing

"Kid" powered "Drum Panel/Synthesizer" for Playgrounds. "Buttons" are simple regions of plastic shaped in circles with vibration sensors. A wavelet analysis bank is used to separate "hits" in a specific location from random structural vibrations and hits that may have happened elsewhere. It also has a cool voice/rhythm record mode.




After the first demo of the voice record/ playback the unit runs out of juice. One gets anywhere from 45-seconds to 3 minutes depending on how the unit is used.




Sorry for the shaky video. I was trying to hold the camera while operating the unit. The is some background noise from someone running power equipment in the background.

Really nice work, i can see how this would be the subject of many fights on the playground on who gets to use it first :p As a suggestion: for the kids to collaborate it might be fun to also add some ground tiles around the machine which add to the music when jumped on :)

That looks like a lot of fun. I think the kids will love it.

Is there a plan for this to be marketed, or does this already exist in market?
