Hoya sonic heads, Dedication and persistance, constant messaging on the algoriddim forum have probably galvanized the developers of DJ to label all their buttons, as this confirms somewhat their interest in making all their applications accessible, and this purveys a lot of good news to come people.
SO i have been testing DJ on my brand new ipad2, figuring where all the controls are on the virtual surface, which incidentally is a miniature version of a classic turntable deck, and after finding the track loading buttons on both turntables, i decided to give the it a spin, tryig out scratches and fading from one table to the other. Were i sighted, all of this would have been pure bliss. Being blind, this is like a game of battleship with a muffled sonar, but the experience is way better than before. The scratching can definetely be improved as the resolution isn't high standard, and a lot of buttons , mainly eq and effects racks, come out from a pop up once you tap on toggle alternative buttons. Now before i go on and try some more on this little beauty, i wanted to call upon anyone on these lists who might be interested in setting up a quick kickstarter project. As some of you might know, kickstarter is a crowd funding platform for various creative ideas in the music, movie and design industries. This allows for teams with great ideas and would like to try getting funds for it to make something happen. Some projects include braille watches, solar charged ipad cases, etc. I wanted to know if anyone here, with a little team work and a few brainstorming sessions, would like to go forth with a slipmat for the ipad, specifically for DJ, with cookie cutter spaces where all the controls are. I have already been outlining this in a previous post, but the more i try dj on the ipad, the more i see this as a realistic goal. I have no problem assigning a small team at my studio for preparing the cads for molding, as well as preparing the contacts for a first prototype which can be videoed live on an ipad. I am talking a real prototype made in resin which will be printed from a 3d service, based on our cad files. If someone would be willing to help with the kickstarter platform as its only us based for now, we can probably get something going and all DJ fans, blind or not i am sure, can have something good out of this. Please let me know off list whether this would interest you. It doesn't really matter whether anyone would jump on the train or not, as i have been anticipating this for a while and have already budgeted myself for realizing the project, even at a scale of just a few prototypes. This is not to make any money, but to share the creative processes going on here, as well as a drive to provide alternative accessibility solutions for certain entertainment applications which we could greatly benefit from. Hope this will raise some eyebrows, and have a great weekend Yuma -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
