Welcome to Hummingbird‚Ñ¢, the world's first voice-activated arcade game! Instead of using the keyboard, you sing to control the action.
In this demo, you have access to the warm-up level only. Watch the screen for the appearance of the balloon; Listen to the note it makes, then sing the note to fly over and pop the balloon. (You can also hum or play your favorite instrument instead of singing.)
Hummingbird instills three aspects of musicianship- Listening, Vocalizing, and Sight-Reading. What's more it accomplishes this obliquely, without conscious effort by the user. Learn while having fun!
Hummingbird is Shareware. To unlock the next 5 levels, send $15 to the designated address. Institutions, send $65 for the Multi-User edition, which entitles you to a site license for the whole class, and provides a log of student participation. A handy order form is included in the application. Click the "Order Now!" button from the About Box.
Requirements: Hummingbird requires a Macintosh with Microphone, and a Color monitor. System 6.0.5 or later.
