The project
A platform built for the Interaction Design course taught by the author at the Fine Arts Academy of Catania. Ten thematic modules on acoustics, sound synthesis, interaction and musical AI, with lessons, quizzes and dozens of real interactive components, including five Max/MSP patch simulators, RNBO patches exported for the web, Web MIDI for external hardware, motion sensors and a peer-to-peer mobile controller paired via QR code.
The course PDF handouts and glossary are built into the platform. Mobile-first, offline, installable as a PWA. The laboratory remains available as an artefact of AFAM teaching innovation after the course's conclusion.
