Challenge
Embody interactions to empower playing music; Rethinking Guitar
After multiple iterations, shown above, we reached to this concept of a air pick and band which has buttons.
Testing, since the prototype was a clay model and the concept was tested but the working and actual use case wasn't tested with real life users, the working prototype could be built.
Understand the goal of aspirational musicians better and pivot the device from being a alternate device to a device which can be the first step of learning a guitar.
Challenge
Coming up with a new device to transform music.
Working alongside the backlash of musicians who might feel it is an insult to the artform.
Surprise
The amount of people who aspire to learn guitar
Insight
POC first, prototype and test, failing fast is a good strategy when trying to create designs which users don't know they need
Skills learnt
Product/ Industrial thinking, prototyping
Phygital device experience.
