01 / Overview

By combining the tone tube group with the rhythm expert interactive game, the principles of music and tone are showcased in a fun way. The exhibit is composed of 8 tubes with different lengths. Two hard foam percussion plates are placed on the booth. Visitors can verify scientific principles by tapping on the pipe opening and improvise unique pieces of music. They can also watch the screen and challenge themselves with playing music by tapping on the corresponding notes on the pipe opening. Target audience: Adolescents aged 6-15. Interactive multimedia device operation instructions (audience experience) 1 Watch the order in which notes appear on the screen and feel the rhythm; 2. Hold the foam plate and tap the nozzle with the rhythm; 3. Watch your own score. Describing the inherent connections between storylines and exhibits, including the characteristics, tones, and musical tones of sound.

02 / How visitors use it

Interaction type: Interactive multimedia installation. The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

The pipeline contains an air column, and due to the different lengths and diameters of the pipeline, the volume of the air column inside is also different, resulting in different natural vibration frequencies for each pipeline. The pitch of a sound is determined by its vibration frequency, and there is a positive correlation between the two: if the frequency (i.e. the number of vibrations per unit time) is high, the sound is "high"; otherwise, it is "low". Reference materials.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
