Independent Study – Absolute Pitch Test Prototype<br />

Self-guided Visualization Project for ECE101<br />

ABSOLUTE PITCH(AP), widely referred to as perfect pitch, is a rare auditory phenomenon characterized by the ability<br />

of a person to identify or re-create a given musical note without the benefit of a reference tone. Usually an aural<br />

test need to be done to identify such music talent. Generally, absolute pitch implies the following abilities:<br />

COMBINED INTO AN INTERACTIVE TEST PROTOTYPE<br />

Design and integrate all these aural tests within an interactive<br />

user interface prototype to help identify if one is an AP<br />

possessor at any time, any place.<br />
