Wire Project: Extension of the Body

For this project we were to think of an extension of the body that can help us in some way to accomplish a task. My extension of the body is a device that aids musicians in composing music. When the musician thinks of the music in their head it is transfered into the head set which creates an audio and a visual that displays the notes of the music and/or the tabs for the instrument used. The vest controls the gain, master volume, treble and bass. It also has a built in amplifier. The nobs on the belt change the instrument being used and has editing controls for the music. The belt also contains a USB port for connection to computer or storage divice and ports for instruments i.e. electric guitar and keyboard, etc.

This device also has a training mode that teaches and quizzes on music theory.

That is my ideal extension of the body, but unfortunatly it does not actualy work.
