This video clip demonstrates the concept behind Muzzi, the interactive pet and music player hybrid. As the mobile user plays music, the pet not only dances and performs the music through sound analysis, but also absorbs the qualities of the musical genre as it grows, over listening time. The Muzzi product also offers customization capabilties where owners earn new clothing and accessories for their music player pets. In addition, the mobile device software features a dancing game inspired by music-matching interactions such as Dance Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero, adapted for the mobile interface and the Muzzi concept. This project was developed for Flash Lite and prototypes run on a Nokia N80.
