There are many notes you actually ends up making a dish in the head .But now came the "Notput Table" which is basically a table created with the intention to teach music students to learn in a more simple musical notes and can read them without problems.

It has combine three senses i.e hearing, sight and touch, it makes learning the classical notation of music easy and really interesting. Imagine yourself sitting n your living room with a cup of coffee in hand and playing with the notes on your interactive music table.All the basic note values, clefs and accidentals have been designed as a single wood element and whole, half, quarter and eighth notes have been differentiated by their form and weight.

The table has two modes: A standard mode, where you can place notes on the table in a playful and xperimental way and explore the related music outcome. And an excercise mode, where excercises and tutorials sort by topic and difficulty have to be mastered.Operating is easy, just put the clef on the table and place a note on the rungs, the user will hear the respective sound. To play several notes on the table, the play button will play all the notes on the table. Not only piano, this table can also play other instruments such as guitar, vibrapho, flute and e-piano.

Visual Sound concept a Deaf Phone!

A mobile phone concept has just been invented which allows deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired people to hold real-time, interactive conversations whilst on the move.The Phone is made up by Pratt student Suhyun Kim and the name is "Visual Sound".She is quite concerned about the deaf folks and hard of hearing wants serenity, a sense of freedom and enjoy technology as much as we do.

 The Visual Sound is a mobile phone for the hearing marred that converts voice input to text and text input to voice. The design features two handy pillars that scroll sideways to expose the roll-out display.The textphone has a keyboard and display screen, and instead of speaking into a mouthpiece the user can type what they want to say and read the reply from the screen. To communicate, the impaired person feeds in the text onto the touchscreen display, which gets converted to voice simulation for the person on the other end of the phone and vice versa.

The new mobile textphone allows two people to communicate by phone using text in real time.The only drawback of this phone is that the time taken to input the text and converting it to sound. It may dissuade long distance calls, but on the flipside any form of communication is better than being mum!
