ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Internet of Musical Things

Hey kiddo, do you like music? Well, imagine if your favorite musical instruments could talk to each other and work together to make even better music! That's what the Internet of Musical Things (IoMT) is all about.

You know how we use the internet to talk to people far away or watch videos? Well, with IoMT, we use the internet to connect musical instruments and devices so they can work together. This means that musicians and composers can create new and unique sounds that weren't possible before.

For example, let's say you have a guitar that has sensors in it that can detect how hard you're playing the strings. If you connect that guitar to a special computer program that can "listen" to the sensor data, it can create new sounds based on how you're playing. And if you connect that program to other instruments, like a drum set or a keyboard, they can all work together to create a whole new musical experience!

The important thing to remember is that the IoMT is all about connecting things that weren't connected before. By doing that, we can create new and exciting music that wasn't possible before. Cool, huh?
