Re: hitech system to read music

I don't know how well something like that would work. The music would have to be so small as to fit the entire page(s) on your glasses. It'd be very detailed and I don't know if the brain could comprehend something that small and intricate. It'd be like reading the bottom line of the eye test at the optometrists, but trying to do it in tempo, with notes, and reading the dynamics etc. An experiment would be to take a piece of music from adobe acrobat or something and shrink it to that size and tape it to your glasses. Try that out.

I was also thinking of perhaps having the music magnified and then it scrolls across as you follow it (like those little bouncing balls on karaoke songs), but then I thought you wouldn't be able to be very expressive. I'm assuming that the computer would make it a certain tempo, and you'd have to keep up, and not take any liberties unless it was programmed in.

The technology IS out there, but whether it's been applied this way I don't know. I guess it COULD work. Take a trip to your local arcade (a good one!) and try out those virtual reality glasses. Of course you're talking about smaller, more regular looking glasses where it's hidden and noone knows, but I'm sure it's doable, probably just not cost effective yet.
