Life Cycle Plan
Current applications are not accessible to
general users
No product in commercial use that brings
all of our proposed features together
As network infrastructure and protocols
mature the technology may be extended to
professional players.
The possibilities! Virtual bands and
concerts.
Feasibility Rationale
Some network latency and packet losses
are inevitable but can be mitigated
MIDI data is highly compact
MWPP can be used over a WAN
Amateur needs can be meet with current
technology
