Hi all,
I just wanted to post and tell everyone about a fab new project that launched yesterday following a close collaboration between Reading Room, MOSI (Museum of Science & Industry), Wellcome Trust, Manchester Science Festival and Dr John Ashley Burgoyne and his team at the University of Amsterdam and Utrecht. We'd love feedback from anyone on the group.
#HookedOnMusic is a new and (slightly addictive) HMTL 5 game that you can play at www.hookedonmusic.org.uk<http://www.hookedonmusic.org.uk>. The game asks users to select which tune they think is the catchiest or asks them to sing along and try to stay in time to gain points and achievements. There is some serious thinking behind the game, as scientists hope the results will aid future research into Alzheimer's. By being able to predict the catchiest musical fragments, researchers hope to come up with new ways to trigger memories and provide therapeutic benefits.
It's been a really special project that brings together user experience design, gamification and science in the most amazing way and its been a lot of fun to be involved with. It has also presented some really interesting challenges along the way from a design and development point of view
You can find more details regarding the background of the project here http://manchestersciencefestival.blogspot.co.uk/ and there are also full details on the game's website.
Please do have a play - I keep getting stuck in the 80's genre mainly because I seem to get all my points there :)
Hope you like it.
Thanks!
Diana
