A great part of the Digital Media M.A. was a master project, which each student had to do, either alone or with a partner.

I decided to work alone and did an App for iPhones called „Drum Challenge“. My idea was to implement a serious game in which drummers can see how many strokes they play in a specific amount of time.

Each round lasts 15 seconds. During this time the drummer has to hit his (actual) snare drum as fast as possible while the iPhone records it and gives a live visual feedback. At the end of each game the user gets an analysis of the round and can see a high score.

I decided to do this project for several reasons: First of all I used to play drums by myself so I was passionate to do a project with my knowledge. Moreover I wanted to do something with UX and UI for an smartphones. Last but not least I wanted to learn audio analysis and especially programming in Objective-C.

The result of the project was an oprative App, two videos, many photos and a written summary.
