The Dancing JukeboxMP3 Player and 3D
Visualization Creation

• Jennifer Rickerson

2
The Problem Statement

• The Dancing Jukebox is a program that fits in the
  area of visualization in digital arts and
  sciences
• The mission of this area of computer engineering
  is research in the integrated development of
  media systems
• These are systems that integrate computation and
  digital media with the physical human experience
  to produce enhanced physical-digital experiences

3
Your Proposed Solution

• Design a program to give the user a full
  audio-visual experience incorporating 3D
  character motion that is linked to what the user
  hears

4
The Solution You Created

• Digital Jukebox!
• Type in the song you want to listen to
• Explore the 3D space around the character
• All the regular functions of a standard media
  player

8
Sample Test Cases

• Playing an mp3

9
Sample Test Cases

• Playing an mp3 and moving around the character

10
Sample Test Cases

• First Bad then Good file

11
Sample Test Cases

• Rotate around character. View from back.

12
Sample Test Cases

• Loading the character with texture

13
Sample Test Cases

• Old toolbar

14
Test Results

• Tested as each phase was completed
• Everything eventually passed
• Able to fix load, play/pause, texture

15
Looking Back on the Process

• What conclusions can you derive from this work?
• Accomplished main goals

16
Looking Back on the Process

• What exactly did you learn, including positive
  and negative results?
• C/C
• OpenGL
• FMOD
• Beat detection/frequency detection

17
Looking Back on the Process

• What would you do the same if approaching this
  problem again?
• Characters
• FMOD
• Wave

18
Looking Back on the Process

• What would you do differently if approaching this
  problem again?
• Skeletons
• Longer on beat detection
• Additional programs/libraries

19
Looking Back on the Process

• What are the open problems remaining for this
  project and its related field of study?
• Beat detection

20
Looking Back on the Process

• What can be done to extend and perform further
  work on this project?
• Toolbar
• Movement
• Beat vs. Frequency
