two instruments constructed out of cardboard; a guitar and a drum set. When a specific note is played on the instrument by activation of an analog switch the corresponding sound will be played through the laptop. The drum kit is also connected to a projector which is aimed towards its front surface; when a note is played a red projectile travels from the top to the bottom of the screen in an erratic thunderbolt-like manner and creates a small explosion when it reaches the bottom of the screen. The projection is capable of having multiple thunderbolts on screen depending on how many notes are played on the drum kit. the interactive visual would also encourage the user to play the drum kit more while also offering an entertaining experience for people watching the user.
