Virtual Guru - Museum exhibit & teaching tool for classical Indian vocal music

Virtual Guru

Created by Flaming Pear Interactive for the Asian Music Centre in West London, The Virtual Guru is a piece of educational software that guides the user through a number of classical Indian raags. The user can first listen to the melody, and then attempt to recreate it with or without musical accompaniment. Their performance is indicated on the screen by a continuous line showing their pitch, overlaid upon a similar line showing the correct or “guru's” performance.

I was tasked with the development and installation of the software, in time for the visit by HRH The Prince of Wales, which made the headlines.

Pitch detection & template creation software in Pure Data (pd), communicating with a C# host via OSC.

Application developed in C#, UI created using WPF.
