From the museum to the browser
summary
A tangible museum step sequencer called GrooveMachine is translated into a browser app that preserves a looping step-sequencer metaphor while shifting from a four-player square table to a single-user circular UI, uses pre-recorded samples downloaded at start and real-time effects (reverse, beat-repeat, orchestration) implemented with p5.js, and reduces eight modifiers to 4 modifiers to force exploration. An observational study of 72 groups shows average interaction around 4 minutes and a t-test confirms GrooveMachine reliably triggers situational interest but needs the web version to support longer-term engagement.
