To start off our primary project, our team allocated time for brainstorming as many potential project concepts as we could - all of which were projects that could be presented and interacted with in the BSU RAK campus later down the line. We shortlisted these ideas to three concepts that felt the most feasible:
- MIDI controller with synthesia display and a launchpad for input
- Interactive water music display with a burj park dancing fountain diorama
- LED Tetris with a grid-like display and 2-Player support
Through a group voting, we decided to focus on creating an Interactive Water Music Display. This concept involves utilizing MIDI input or button input made from affordable materials, with the desired output being multiple water streams that dynamically move and change height based on specific frequency ranges. We also considered incorporating color-changing LEDs that would match the movement of the dancing fountain.
Our team then set out to gather project resources. This involved doing online research on existing projects with similar concepts, listing all the required parts, and documenting sources from which we can get each component.
