  • Publication number: 20110078571
    Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and apparatuses for providing visual responses to musically synchronized touch input are presented. A moving object may be displayed on a touch-sensitive display. Subsequently, a first display characteristic of the moving object may be changed synchronously with a beat of an audio track being played. Thereafter, in response to receiving user input corresponding to a tap on the moving object that is synchronized with the beat, the moving object may be altered in a first manner. In response to receiving user input corresponding to a tap on the moving object that is not synchronized with the beat, the moving object may be altered in a second manner different from the first manner. Optionally, a second display characteristic of the moving object may be changed to signal a user of the approaching beat prior to changing the first display characteristic of the moving object.
