A smart toy that encourages in-car interaction between parent and child
What is it?
WeSing is a smart toy that encourages in-car interaction between parent and child.
The toy records the parent and child singing together the child's favorite songs, and enables the the child to manipulate the recording by changing the pitch so that their voice will sound distorted and funny. WeSing's goal is to take advantage of the car driving time and turn it into quality time, and store these enjoyable memories in a fun way for both the parent and the child.

How does it work?
WeSing is based on a Raspberry unit with a microphone, a potentiometer and a button.
Pressing the button enables the user to record a 15 seconds playback while a pre-loaded song is being played in the background through the car’s speakers. Later on, the recording will be played automatically – that is when the user can distort the playback’s pitch via spinning the plate on the device, which controls the potentiometer’s angle and the manipulation’s level.
