Inspiration
The inspiration for LVLS stems from a casual conversation with an affiliated member of the HARMAN company that demonstrated a fundamental absence in visual equalizer functionality. Upon learning there was no such function currently available, it was our sworn duty as avid music listeners and connoisseurs of the ideal audio-visual entertainment experience to provide such functionality to our fellow, music-listening brethren.
What It Does (should do eventually...)
The application allows the Pulse 2 to execute proper audio visualization by utilizing the 11x9 LED screen to provide a visual equalizer.
How We Built It
We utilized both Android Studio and JBL Pulse 2 SDK.
Challenges
There were a lot of challenges with mapping out the layout of the LED lights in the system. We had to physically draw out a layout and visualize the placement of each LED light that needed to light up. There were issues with adding activities to handle to operations. Lastly, brainstorming a way to properly implement a FFT* was difficult. While, we worked tirelessly, we unfortunately could not complete in time to meet deadline.
(Fast Fourier Transform) an algorithm that computes transformations or sequences.
Accomplishments
- Learned about a new SDK
- Acquired knowledge about the in/outs of Android Studio
Things Learned
As a team we learned, to rapidly adapt with change. We also learned that some ideas can sometimes fall apart.
The Future of LVLS?
The future will consist of further development and seeing if we can actually implement properly functioning audio visuals.
