The edutainment of virtual music instrument for Thai xylophone (Ranad-ek)

The edutainment of virtual music instrument for Thai xylophone (Ranad-ek) developed under the Virtual Reality Media project, School of Information Technology, Sripatum University, Chonburi Campus. The Virtual Music Instrument (VMI) developed following a physical modeling approach, is presented, along with a classification scheme of real Ranad-ek (Thai Music Instrument as a type of xylophone) and their real characteristic acoustic implement. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to develop the edutainment of virtual music instrument for Thai xylophone (Ranad-ek) and evaluated by five experts. However, this system was design as edutainment and usability study progresses. As researcher begin 6 methods of the study, several modifications have been made to improve the interface, appropriate model, system control, sensitivity, computer compatibility, rapidity, and ease of use. It can confirm that edutainment of virtual music instrument for Thai xylophone is a novel software program and provides chances of reaching toward professionals cite benefits to user.
