| Abstract | In this paper we describes a new concept of utilizing a mobile device or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) for musical composition. We design a new interface that combines the ease of use of a pencil and the portability and customizability of mobile device. Our proposed kit involves the affordances provided by paper computing in order to provide user experiences to novice users. By effectively using the principle of electrical conductivity and signal processing, we have developed a functional prototype ("Birds on Paper") that enables users to compose their own music. Our proposed kit consists of 4 main elements, i.e.: pencil, birds-shaped sensor, hub connector, and mobile device or PDA. Pencil can be applied on a piece of paper as the main medium to visualize the musical composition. Touching the graphite surface of the drawing will trigger an audio feedback in the form of musical notes. Musical notes will be generated based on the thickness and the length of the pencil drawings, thus enables users to intuitively compose the music according to their preference. In addition to the description of the kit, we also discuss the concept behind the design and possible user scenarios. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
