ROLI is developing a roadmap towards a vision of promoting the joy in the making of music, by reducing the entry barriers to music creation and empowering everyone to express themselves through music creation. Current music related digital entertainment products are mostly outdated; the "Guitar Hero" and "Singstar" style of interactions still dominate the music games market. Existing music games have yet to take advantage of human-machine interface technologies or mediums such as virtual reality and augmented reality. More importantly the current entertainment experience contributes little to learning actual musical skills and music creation. This EngD project will investigate new ways to make the experience of learning and creating music more fun and engaging through technology-driven gamification; and also explore specific creative solutions to the above challenges.
