Application to the product design for playing acoustic
Problematic
Musical practice accessibility for disabled users
- What are the product architecture to facilitate the assistive technology design for playing music?
- Is it possible to link the physical specificities characterization toward the customized interface? And with which tools?
- Can you say that our customized solutions are a positive impact on the musicale performance?
