Abstract
The visual feedback device bridges the gap between what an observer sees and hears, by creating a new kind of MIDI drum kit, one that responds with obvious visual physical feedback to the specific way that the user can play it. Aggressive strikes may result in more aggressive visual feedback from the visual feedback device, and light playing may result in more subtle visual feedback from the visual feedback device giving the listener a truly unique experience.
Claims1
A visual feedback device, the device comprising:
- a spherical shaped body, the body comprising a resilient material;
- a trigger pad coupled to the body, the trigger pad configured to transmit data upon being struck by a user;
- an interface configured to convert the data from the trigger pad into MIDI data capable of being read by a computer;
- and
- wherein the body is visually deformed when the trigger pad is struck by the user.
