Google’s Awesome Online Orchestra [VIDEO]
17 Jul 2012 by Albi P in Video
In its latest display of awesome, Google has unveiled its Universal Orchestra Experiment, built by Google Creative Lab. The online experiment is the beautiful lovechild of science-fiction and high art and will allow multiple visitors to play real instruments in London’s Science Museum in real-time via the Internet.
Working in collaboration with London’s Science Museum, the Universal Orchestra Experiment is the fruit of a project that will run for an entire year. The orchestra, which is set up in the museum, can be played at any time from anywhere in the world. The experiment uses Google’s Chrome browser to “convey the physical and analog interfaces of eight unique instruments”. Although the Museum must abide to opening and closing times, the exhibit does not, and visitors can access it online at any time. It is the first of five ambitious projects undertaken by Google’s Chrome Web Lab and the Museum.
[Chrome Web Lab] is a year-long collaboration between Google and London’s Science Museum, seeking to bring the magic of the web to life in five experiments grounded in Chrome, Google’s Internet browser.
