Game Design:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We prepared game pitches and presented them to the clients. We plan to organize the game in 2 stages: left hand learning, right hand learning, and a combination of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feedback from Game Pitches<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Learn left-hand chords in a randomized order (using chords from the song but shuffled).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Learn right-hand strumming patterns (specific to the song).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Play the full song using both hands together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clarify the need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Machine learning works well on identifying ukulele fretboard (Ideally)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Web App that can collect & send data for future research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan for Quarters:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Overview: Problem <=> Solution (Why <=> What+How)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving a Hand-track demo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Present the Game design pitches, and ideally our narrowed down choice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potentially, also present our challenges<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advices from Instructor meeting:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Gameplay Goal:<\/strong> Create learning scenarios involving hand-object interaction (ukulele). A simple game using the ukulele, even for those with no experience, to track their learning progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • What is the goal?<\/strong> A playground for collecting data where people are motivated to participate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • What is good data and bad data?<\/strong> What is important to researchers?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Can performance be validated with audio?<\/strong> Identify a beautiful chord or a bad chord through audio differences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Gameplay Ideas:<\/strong> Is it satisfying to play a song? Or is it randomized Whack-a-Mole? Or a combination of Whack-a-Mole and full song progression?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Learning Aids:<\/strong> Markers or colors on the ukulele may help with learning chords.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Documentation:<\/strong> Prepare a document outlining what they want.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Game Concerns:<\/strong> Is an engaging environment distracting? Why are they concerned about this?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Production Advice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Use a spreadsheet to track features, what works, and what doesn\u2019t.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Prioritize tasks and check them off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
