Inspiration
- I love music, its what helps me get through my days happily, efficiently, and I wouldn't be as happy of a person without my wide access to music. I wanted to create a centralized space that would be the most beneficial for me to listen to music, regardless of the platform or situation.
What it does
This is an application that connects different music databases to allow for the widest access of music as possible. It then uses a series of algorithms and controls based on our research about the psychological effects of music and how it can change/influence our human actions. It even uses your heart rate and speed at which you're driving to pick the best music for certain scenarios.
How we built it
- We used Java, Java Swing, and Javascript to interact with different API's for music streaming services and technology to get information about the user.
Challenges we ran into
- The AI aspect of was challenging, in terms of charting and creating a method to learn and store user preferences over time as they use the app. We're still working on a way to figure these things out.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- We were extremely proud of our implementation and work with different music streaming services through their API's as well as the implementation that connects technology with our code to get information about the user.
What we learned
- We learned that a knowledge of using and understanding how to read through and implement API's is extremely useful when making cross platform applications.
What's next for SoundHub
- Hopefully we can fully implement a proper app like gui and add more functionalities as we think of them to make this app a reality for individual consumers to use.
