Da Vinci Code

In previous class, we had a movie screening of Da Vinci Code. This movie was adapted from a movie written by Dan Brown, one of his best selling book.

The movie was about a murder investigation that led to a study of fine art and secret society and also the existence of Jesus Christ's descendants.

"Unseen World" by Mr. Kotaro

Petrosains

Our class trip to Petrosains, KLCC.

I was required to do a research and observe the interactivity that has been provided for all visitors inside the Petrosains.

During the trip to Petrosains, the device that capture my attention was an instrument.

A normal harp have around 44-47 strings. But the harp I saw in petrosains have no string but 8 sensor. this means it only can produse 8 musical notes.

Reason I choose this musical instrument is because the instrument shown in the gallery only had 8 musical note. in order to play some nice music, i think it should equipped with more sensor and try to improve the output.
