Jeannie’s Status Report for 9/23

This week I finalized the proposal presentation with my group members, including contributing to the Project Use Case, Use-Case Requirements, Technical Challenges, Solution Approach, Testing Verification and Metrics, as well as the Tasks and Division of Labor slides. In this process I did extensive research into pressure sensors to decide the type of pressure sensor which would be most viable for our application. I believe thin film pressure sensors would lead to the most pleasant experience for the user and will proceed in ordering some samples this week.

I believe my progress is on schedule, and will spend time this week creating a first draft of the initial sensor data PCB schematic and ordering the pressure sensor samples to finalize the hardware implementation.

Our music transcriber is designed to dynamically transcribe sheet music from a piano keyboard. When a player initiates a recording session and plays a sequence of notes, they can trust that the music transcriber will accurately capture the notes as they are played, resulting in a well-written piece of sheet music. Sensors on the keys will detect the notes being played, feed the data into a computing device that will process the data, and display the sheet music on a monitor that the player can view in real time and save for later. This innovative tool not only simplifies the process of converting piano performances into sheet music but also enhances the creative potential of musicians by allowing them to focus on their artistry while the transcriber handles the notation.
