Inspiration

Inspired by the movie Beauty and the Beast, we set out to do something similar. In the movie, there are multiple iconic scenes in which everyday household objects, such as a teapot and a candlestick, come to life and burst into song. We tried to capture the magic of watching the movie for the first time by creating Band of the Cursed, in which the instruments on the screen come to life depending on You!

What it does

The four instruments on the screen light up individually when a sound from their instrument is played which is detected using sound classification. There is also an AR option which allows you to view the instruments in AR.

How we built it

We used ml5 to create the sound classification models and used Krita to animate and draw the instruments. We also used Three.js to create the AR environemnt. The sound classification models were trained using individual layers of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven.

Challenges we ran into

Learning how to animate in Krita was hard

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning how to animate objects and using sound classification

What's next for Band of the Cursed

Make the AI more accurate, especially with other things playing in the background.
