A disruptive technology that doesn’t interrupt.
What happens when the power of a live musical performance collides with the
technology of a smart device? Stares and mutters, usually.
But Dr. Youngmoo Kim, founder of Drexel University’s Expressive and Creative
Interaction Technologies (ExCITe) Center, knew music and technology could work
together in concert. Partnering with the world-renowned Philadelphia Orchestra,
his team created LiveNote, a rich mobile experience that allows patrons to
immerse themselves in the performances—through interactive slides about
musical, emotional and historical highlights, context and translations.
LiveNote both deepens and preserves the musical experience—it’s thoughtfully
built and tested to create minimal impact on its environment but high impact for
the concertgoer. It’s yet another opus from a place that turns the world’s problems
into exciting opportunities.
