Non-discrete Piano Roll

https://autotel.co/forbidden-music/
A web application that can be used to create music on any tuning system imaginable. The user interface mixes the legacy of piano rolls from DAWs and the typical routines from graphic design software such as Illustrator or Figma. The result is an intuitive interface that lets musicians, as well as non-musicians, engagingly create micro-tonal music.

Sine Desk

https://autotel.co/sinedesk/
A web audio toy where the visitor can create a sound sculpture based on sine waves. The characteristics of the sine waves (i.e., volume and tone) are determined by the position of black dots on the screen, which the user can place and drag. The web toy provides a visualization of the resulting waveform in visual form, and thanks to an intelligent wave-centering procedure, it can convey a sense of phase and interference, which enhances the experience.

ROS 3D Wall

This was an interactive, big-scale projection of contents in a virtual 3D space. It contained a big set of HTML elements floating in a room, and upon request, it could display different information arrangements. It also had some features to allow editing the wall's contents in real time.
It uses Three.js, CSS 3D renderer, jQuery, and Firebase.
This wall was used to display the redesign of the society research results in Kluuvi, Helsinki, to the public.
