TronMe

Together with our customer, Flemart team has gone beyond the boundaries and released what is meant to be a revolution in the way we see and listen to music, and its combined use with IM applications, blogs, broadcast sites and much more. Possibilities and combinations are just endless.

The application named TronMe, anyone is going to be able to make their own song versions or remixes and perform them live in their favourite IM application such as MSN, AIM, Skype as well as in their blog or Mogolus. Sometimes when you chat through your IM application with no music and the outcome imagery is fairly sad with not so good looking backgrounds and so on, now using TronMe you can impress a lot of vitamins to it.

This fully featured media player is based on an innovative technology which allows you to customize your favourite song in a completely unique manner using your mouse and your webcam. You will also find that this program brings to you the ability to apply different effects to make the outcome look cooler and more interesting. Thus giving you the possibility to show your outstanding productions to the entire world.

What matters is the format
The songs are uploaded in the IVS format which is a fresh new way to enrich and put your unique touch into songs. This file format has the particularity of being able to transform any regular song file into a completely interactive experience. This is possible thanks to the fact that IVS format has control over every part of the song such as the instruments and the segments (introduction, verse, bridge, chorus, etc.). All this components included in the IVS format tracks can be handled as blocks or separated entities, so you can mix or rearrange them according to your style and personality. Thus giving you endless possibilities to mix, remix or create a totally new and unique performance.

In TronMe you will find two track files modes: Full and Normal interactivity
Full interactive tracks allow you to add or remove instruments, vocals and much more from the track, and what is more important, to do it in a dynamic way. In order to do this you will have a panel on the right side of the video with slots which you can click to activate or deactivate available instruments as well as arrange the segments in any way you like.
You also have Normal interactive files: this format has the advantage that any MP3 format song can be converted into an interactive file by 3D Solar so far. Although you can’t play with the instruments, in basic interactive mode you can play with the segments parts and it still brings a lot of fun.

You will be able to record the result in .avi or .MP3 format to broadcast it in youtube or to load it in your iPod and show it to your friends and relatives. You can also broadcast your tracks live to your own dedicated channel on Mogulus. Besides, you can add a widget to Facebook or Myspace or even perform live if you want. What is more surprising is that if you don’t want to perform you can just let the system analyse what you are doing. TronMe has an innovative face tracking unit inside. So the track will be performed based on your movement.

Flemart team had taken part in the main stages of the projects’ life cycle: requirements specification, architecture design, implementation, stabilization and deployment. The application consists of the client part, which is the multimedia one, and server part, which covers data exchange, updates, tools updating, user control. The third part of the project is WEB site. It allows browsing and shopping for new tools with effects or music, download new version of the software, participage in forums.

There are many famous artists to coopererate with this product providing their works in IVS format introduced by TronMe.
