Elevator Pitch
Tiniest Violin
Product Description
How It’s Innovative
The tiniest violin is the tip of the iceberg for an entire computing platform. It is primarily used as an introduction to programming and the entire operating system can be remixed using the same primitives used to program the synthesizer that is the tiniest violin midi interface. In the example video, the guitar is an example of the evolution of the tiniest violin, which is categorized in the operating system as the application “Final Boss”.

Most Inspiring Use Cases
Much of the research that preceded the tiniest violin was around using video game controllers as synthesizers. That brought me in close contact with much of the gaming community as well as medical technology communities. At the intersection of both is being able to create accessible human computer interactions for people left behind by mainstream, mass market approaches to creating technology.
I’m excited about the prospect of being able to help connection and healing potential of the technology.
Expansion Plans
Better sounds and better actuators.
Commercialization
Much of the commercialization efforts have been around the core platform and using it to build web-based products. The educational aspect of the platform is ready to go to market, the tiniest violin being one example of code that can be remixed to encourage and foster the learning process, specifically for digital literacy and learning to code.
