Further in the research into the initial Interactive Water Music Display, we reconsidered our project timeline and realised that this concept was not the most viable option, considering the number of details to implement - such as the diorama - and the fact that implementing a water feature seemed troublesome in terms of maintenance.

We adjusted this concept to focus on manipulating LEDs in a unique way. This is where the Interactive LED Display comes in. This project would incorporate both sound and button inputs to generate visual outputs. The sound input would be facilitated through a sound sensor, detecting audio level signals from the surrounding environment. Additionally, tile buttons would be implemented, allowing users to interact with the display. The output could take two forms: a static RGB-controlled light display or a reactive RGB LED light show that responds to the audio input.

To fully conceptualise this idea, the team then researched on existing work on either audio-controlled or button-controlled LED displays. We also documented a list of parts and their respective sources for both versions of the output, and compiled a cost table for the combined project.
