Opportunities
Latest 3D Technology
The 3D Instrument Design environment allows designing 3D graphical models, of predefined virtual instruments, without requiring any advanced skills in 3D graphics design. Even though the modeling software has several instruments for editing 3D objects, limiting the number of available functionalities was required to prevent the users from designing deformed 3D models while keeping only the essentials. In addition to the 3D editing tools, the user is encouraged to change several physically-based modeling parameters of the instrument, such as string material or membrane tension. The 3D modeling environment consists of a 3D editing software with elements like painting, sculpting and parametric design. The modular core engine is written in C++, and it utilizes OpenGL 8, thus enabling a cross-platform architecture. The modeling engine is already ported to several platforms, including desktop, mobile and web-based versions and provides lucrative opportunities in the virtual musical instrument market.
Restraints
Digitally lessons require a strong internet connection & More Personal Motivation.
While a shortage of WiFi is rarely a problem in this day and age, it’s worth pointing out that if your internet connection goes out during your planned lesson time, you’ll likely have to miss and reschedule your lesson. Again, if your home internet is usually slow or has a poor connection, you could deal with bad video quality and transmission uncertainties. If you’re counting on pre-recorded video modules to know to play your instrument, the only person keeping you responsible for your lessons is
you. If you’re feeling lazy and decide to miss your lessons for the day, it can be not easy to get back on track and maintain up with your practice schedule.
