Sony Every year at SXSW festival shows conceptual technology created by the company within the Future Lab program. This year, she demonstrated an experimental bracelet Motion Sonic, allows a person to control the music through movement.
Previously, the company showed the public, for example, a projector with a touch screen and is not in contact with the ear headphones. This time, Sony came to Austin with a wearable device with sensors and microphones to capture data on the turns, the speed and incline of the hands or feet.
After receiving all the necessary information, Motion Sonic analyzes it and produces a variety of sounds - so user limbs are transformed into musical instruments. In this case, you can apply filters to get sound and make music with other unusual manipulations.
Man, for example, can clap nastukivat melody on the knee or even play air guitar, turning movement in guitar sounds real.
Sony has produced several videos demonstrating the technology, but, apparently, the company cheated a little and record sound separately by programming them for their commercials. In fact, the number of movements that produce sounds quite limited.
In Motion Sonic has at least one noticeable flaw: no sound device itself, since only equipped with microphones, but not the speakers. Therefore, it has to match with your smartphone or tablet via a special application, through which, in its turn the sound output by the speaker of the mobile device, or connected to it via a cable or Bluetooth column.
Bracelet itself has reportedly quite bulky and uncomfortable. Consequently, such a product is not revolutionary, as shown in Sony commercials, where integer dance groups create complex melodies and their bodies to play two or three instruments at the same time.
