Rudess went on to explain his application, "I work with program leader Tobias Miller to create ShapeSonix and bring it to Intel AppUp. We want to create something shaped beautiful, very interesting and unique in the same time. ShapeSonix is ??a natural progression from our previous release. "  

"Maestro has a group of 3D musicians who can follow your movements. Our goal is to create something fun and interactive by allowing users to interact with their Webcam to lead the orchestra. This is an easy application assembled by Kevin Chartier and has a special repertoire of special arrangements arranged for Maestro by Eren Basbug, "Rudess concluded.
