Hi Geng Hao,
We are Ivan Lee and Amy Ling from BeatIt.
Our project aims to improve the quality of life of dancers by simplifying processes such as reviewing videos or playing back music to practise different parts of the choreography.
How the app will work is that users can import their dance music into the app, which will give them the option to add bookmarks which they can then access while playing the music. Then with a push of a button, users can skip forward or back to the right moment to start practising the choreography.
In addition, users can also choose to overlay a new audio file of choice over their video should the original audio be too muffled or distorted. They can then choose to have the audio synced automatically to the video, removing the need for any wasted effort on the user’s end. This new video with higher quality sound helps dancers focus purely on remembering their steps instead of having to guess which part of the song they are at.
Our app will also serve as a form of visualisation for the different positions that dancers have to take on stage by providing ways for the video to be annotated. These annotations can then be shared with the other dancers as well, providing an effective way for choreographers to give feedback to their dancers.
We plan on using React Native for the frontend and Firebase for our backend databases. We will also make use of Python for signal processing and libraries such as FFmpeg for video processing.
We are really interested in receiving your mentorship because our goal is to simplify and enhance a process, so we thought it would be best to design it with their needs in mind from the beginning. And that is where we believe your experience in interaction design and frontend development will be a huge asset in helping us cater more closely to this niche demographic, giving us the inspiration needed to provide a smoother user experience.
Our team consists of two hardworking individuals with a vision to help dancers improve themselves, by removing the obstacles in their way and paving the road for them. We hope that we can share this vision with you and convince you to join us on this adventure!
