Baby's First Drum Machine is an interactive 3D visualizer that doubles as a simple drum machine, allowing visitors to create visually stunning beats using their smartphones. By scanning a QR code, users access a web app that transforms their mobile devices into controllers for the installation.
Once connected, participants can craft unique drum patterns that come to life on a large display. The experience doesn't stop there – users can enhance their creations by playing along with guitars, microphones, or any instrument of their choice. The dynamic 3D animations respond in real-time to both the programmed beats and live instrumental input, creating a mesmerizing audiovisual spectacle. This installation encourages collaborative creativity, as multiple users can join in simultaneously, each contributing their own musical elements to the ever-evolving composition.
