What happens when music, AI, and visual storytelling come together?
Sisters Kaitlin and Nikki Pet are exploring exactly that through their startup, PetsAloud: a platform creating interactive concert experiences that respond to live performance in real time.
Blending their backgrounds in music and computer science through the @iuluddy and @iujsom communities, the sisters are building something that feels entirely new. Supported through the @iuinnovates incubator program, their work offers a glimpse into how technology can expand creative expression rather than replace it.
