Inspiration

  Almost everyone has a strong desire to play an instrument, master it and perform grand. Limitations in cost, time and location for practice prevents people from following that dream. We proudly present treble. A software using which anyone can overcome all these three limitations and become a rockstar.

What it does.

*Fundamental principle*  It is an application that recognises a user's movements over a musical instrument ( eg. piano) and plays the right note.

Treble's treble 1) Treble Jam- An application that allows instrument players from different locations to virtually jam. Background noise is eliminated completely as the music is generated by the app. By using this, starting a band and practice becomes ultimately smooth. 2) Treble Play- Synthetic models that simulate a real instrument in terms of look and feel are used for the software to detect motion and play notes. These models are rollable/foldable and have no electronic parts Eg) A Rollable Piano . As the model will be cheap and portable, People overcome the hesitation of buying an instrument/ 3) Treble Learn - A Game+tutorial that walks a user through progressive lessons. This can be used with our model Treble Play or a real instrument. This encouraging method results in users being more motivated to play an instrument.

How we built it.

The intel Real Sense Camera is capable of identifying 3D objects and their movements. The camera is made to recognize a keyboard's(piano) keys and play the right note on the computer when a corresponding key is pressed. We modeled the instrument using legos.

Challenges we ran into:

3 Teammates quitting. ( valid challenge?) Background movement noise Method to identify the right note in order to play the right key

Accomplishments that we're proud of

                           We have realised that the fundamental principle that needs to work in order for treble's treble to become accomplished. Since we have made the fundamentals work, we know it's a matter of time before we can exhibit a fully functioning Treble.

What we learned

                         Team work. Work under stress. We have become more confident in our coding and designing tactics.

What's next for Treble

                         For the purpose of the Hackathon, we have a mock up for treble Jam. We aim to _perfectly_ simulate a real playing experience. We will next progress to use the same principle for more musical instruments. 

                                 We have plans for marketing. We are certain that we can reach out to the music loving mass - students, the  old, the inquistive.  Our vision is to ensure that people have no reason not to  immerse themselves in the sound of music.
