The Need

The Funk Center approached Tessellate to create an interactive, multi-modal road case that could be used for creating music. The intention of this unique mobile exhibit was to craft an authentic experience for children and families, and be an embodiment of their educational goals and values.

The Approach

Tessellate designed an experience using touchless motion sensors, a 100- watt bass amplifier, and a 40-inch LCD video display, all built into the compact footprint of a traditional road case. Each of the four modes of the exhibit, intended to correspond to a historical facet of Funk music, features three different instruments controlled by motion sensors that use hand swipe gestures to switch between instrument loops. Two retractable and double-sided banners flank the case, and provide information about The Funk Center and its mission to bring music education and fun to children and their families.
