Unique Properties

By placing different nodes on the tracks, users can either recreate the music they heard before or make new music on their own. The base contains different instruments, so by switching the bottom the music can be played by trumpet, piano, guitar etc. The designer wish to add a bit of fun when people stay home for the 14 days, during this epidemic.

Production Technology

Each node has a magnet with a different strength, so the ball with a magnetic sensor inside can recognize the difference and judge the musical scale. After detecting, the ball transmits the data to the base station by Bluetooth to play music.
