Problem

• DJ isn’t able to connect with crowd

• People don’t feel involved in music choice

• Music is just background “noise”

• Bars don’t really care about music, they just want profits

– People having fun tend to consume more

Problem

• People don’t want same things on party as in bar

• No DJ in bar

• Different context

Research Questions

• Could we improve the atmosphere in a public space by allowing the crowd to influence the music?

• Can this be done with an app on a mobile phone?

• How will we make this communication?

• Would it be good to give (partial) control of the music in a public space to the users?

• Do we need some form of control?

Objectives

• Provide users the option to “aid” in music choice let their voice be heard

• Provide DJ’s with better ways to connect with the crowd

• Specifically– Information about the crowd’s preferences

• Exact statistics about genres and how many users like it

– Requests• The ability to request songs• The ability to view requested songs

– Voting• Votes can be made by the DJ• Users can then vote on it

Two versions

• Party

– DJ has control, but wants interact with the crowd

• Bar/Home

– Computer with music database

– Users have more control

– Autonomously

Version 1: Party

• App for smartphone

• Users feel involved

• DJ has control nevertheless

Version 2: Bar/Home

• App for smartphone

• Computer plays music, works autonomously

• Users have more control

Planning

• December: Continue with digital prototype

• January: Exams + digital prototype + writing

Planning – Future Questions

• Is server-client structure ideal?

• Is working on the same LAN good?

• Would autocomplete work best with sending data to server, or with local data?

• Will the app be responsive enough?

• How can we minimize the communication between the server and app
