Pictures of People Listening to Music
Car Setting
The two people in the front are listening to music on the way to a 5K run, playing from a tape.
Features that would be useful:
- Better pre-arranged music to avoid having to have someone constantly DJ
- Likely an AUX cable in the car would've been better than a tape adapter
- Allowing the driver to change the song without taking his hand off the wheel (in this case it's fine with another passenger, but if there isn't, it's a lot harder)
Running Setting
Person running Lake Lagunita carrying his phone and listening to music from his earphones
Possible features:
- Attaching the phone to his shorts somehow to avoid carrying them.
- Fix the earbuds so you don't hear the sound of moving up and down (which you can hear through the cables)
- Having an idea for how long/fast you've run so you can get live updates as you run
Concert Setting
A large number of people listening to an electronic dance music concert after a run.
Possible features:
- Improving the acoustics so a broader range of people could hear the music
- Creating an elevated stage/ascending platform so people can see the stage.
- Syncing the electric lights with the music
Youtube Surfing
My roommate, who is a classical pianist, listening to classical music on YouTube after coming back.
Possible features:
- Automatic playback upon returning to the room
- Playback automatically through wireless speakers (note: disconnected speaker cable)
- Darken lighting automatically when watching the video
Sleeping Setting
Two people sleeping/napping to the music playing from the laptop.
Possible features:
- Auto-turn off music if it detects you've fallen asleep
- Play calmer music depending on the mood/activity in the room
- (or in some cases, ramp up the music if it senses you've fallen asleep)
