Innosummer project 3/2010: Music Space

Background and Motivation
New service offerings such as Comes with Music have enabled users to store a huge selection music on their mobile devices. Selecting and finding a desired item is getting more difficult when the user needs to browse through long lists of items.
The conventional access to music catalog using indexed in hierarchic lists based on the name of the artist, album, composer and genre should be replaced by more intuitive search methods.

Project Goal
Design a media player user interface using touch screen, available sensors, 3D graphics and 3D audio rendering. Let the user navigate in audio visual 3D space filled with music

Development tools, environments and standards
QT environment
Gstreamer media framework
Linux/Maemo

Time period
The project constitutes full-time work for the project team between 24.5 - 31.8.2010.

Interaction between stakeholder and project team
The work will mainly be done at the Demola 'office' in Tampere, Finlayson. There will be regular meetings with the company partner and the team members. There will also be other forms of communication and guidance available to the team. The team will report the work by writing a team blog on the Demola website.
 
Support (supervision & financial)
Demola staff will supervise the reports and by the end of each month the team will also write a one page summary of the reported project actions, methods used, implemented software, and results.
