Symphony-Q: A Support System for Learning Music through Collaboration

Symphony-Q: A Support System for Learning Music through Collaboration by Kusunoki, F., Sugimoto, M., Hashizume, H presented at the CSCL Conference 2002 in Boulder.

This system integrates a sensing board and a computer, and is used for collaborative learning in a face-to-face setting. One of the aims of Symphony-Q is to enhance music experiences: children who do not have music skills can easily participate in music learning, enjoy making sounds, and play rhythmically to music in collaboration with others. (...) The system creates an immersive environment by using augmented reality technology, and allows learners to play music by placing pieces on a board in a face-to-face situation
