Jingle Jungle
Posted Under: 3D Animation, Animation, Music, Programming, Video
Another project revised!
I developed this program for Computing and Art class, in 2005, so don’t expect too much of it -there is even a bug, you will see. I used Open Scene Graph as a graphics library and OpenAL as audio library. And we used Maya and Plant Studio to design the 3d models.
Jingle Jungle was ment to be the “Abstract Visualization of Interactive Sound Construction”, but for now it is only a demo of this sound construction visualization..
In further stages this could be adapted to help children learn sounds of nature faster.
Or even further stages of the program could use some human computer interaction through movement interpretation and people could make music while actually dancing.. A music that is adapting, changing speed and style according to your movements!
We could even project the camera views of 4 sides on the walls around the user and let the user navigate through the scene with his movements on a threadmill, or a WII board :-)
Or may be these are already done…

I think you can expand on this idea. Make it playable and allow people to add sounds. It could be the start of of a new form of browsing, if you like a sound press space and it will link you to…something corresponding to that sound…sound browsing!
Yes, sound browsing is a reallly nice idea.
It can be useful for blind people or for people who cannot read yet (children perhaps) or even for people with disabilities who cannot use the keyboard for browsing the internet (hospitalized people, really old people)
A clever system which can interpret the eye gestures can be integrated into this browser, so that the handicapped people can browse the internet without typing! It’s a good idea, but if the person is able to speak, then even a better idea is using voice commands. This time, the people whose hands are occupied with another job can still navigate the world wide web. They can just browse by speaking the keywords that the browser will understand. A good example may be navigating on google satellite maps while actually driving your car :)
