Research - O2 BRITISH MUSICAL EXPERIENCE

Tuesday last week I visited the O2 British Music experience. 

Spending several hours there, I was abel to use a new type of technology which allows me to record data and information about the history of music (recorded by a scanner near various parts of the experience, such as the dance booth) onto a smartcard which has the shape and design of a modern hotel room key.

I also attended a workshop summarising the look and feel of music in each decade from the 1940s all the way to 2011.

The experience was highly interactive, featuring large screens full of thumbnails highlighting key points in musical history, rows of instruments and video tutorials for how to play them - a dancing booth, and a vocal singing studio.
