It seemed that we were given two main ideas for this music learning project. The first idea would consider using a virtual learning room, rigged up with sensors and camera's. This room would then monitor what the student was doing, right and wrong, and then help them with on screen commands.
The second idea would be a device that you plug the guitar into, this device would then turn any "proper" guitar into a computer controller. In a similar way to our initial idea of using guitar hero/rock band instruments. The computer would then be able to read what the student is doing. The student would then be able to see what there doing by looking at the computer screen.
We thought we will go with the second idea, mainly because we feel we can achieve the most proffesional results, and if we went with the first idea, we would be speculating a lot because the technology is not available currently.
