Adaptive Guitar

Adaptive Guitar is an innovative educational experience designed for individuals with one hand to learn and play the guitar. Our application uses a physical wooden fretboard equipped with three SoftPot membrane potentiometer sensors. An Arduino transmits real-time sensor data to our Unity 6 desktop app, which maps these values to accurately detect finger positions and play the corresponding chord sound. This design empowers users who face traditional accessibility challenges by allowing them to practice guitar with only one hand.

Elemental Mysteries

Elemental Mysteries is an educational Virtual Reality (VR) experience that lets you explore the ancient concepts of water, fire, air, and earth that were believed to form everything.
