iPhone Orchestra

The Michigan Mobile Phone Ensemble is a unique musical group that builds and plays electronic instruments on iPhones. The group formed from a class Georg Essl started teaching in 2009. Essl was involved in the development of Ocarina, a popular iPhone app that turns the phone into a flute-like instrument.

Computing provides us with incredible opportunities to reshape our interactions with the world. Faculty like Georg Essl are engaged in a number of projects under the umbrella of interactive systems, in which they explore and propose new means of creativity and new paradigms foe human/computer interaction. You can learn more about interactive systems research, or another aspect of computer science and engineering, at the Computer Science and Engineering Department website.

That’s a great news, if we can use iPhone as an instrument to learn “orchestra”. I will contact this musical group to get detail information. Really very appreciate your post.
