Motion controlled MP3 player video appears 0 comments

A new video has popped up on YouTube showing a short demonstration of an interesting new MP3 player design that uses motion detection to control playlist and playback functions. Think of it as a weird cross in aesthetics and functionality between a Slinky, a Rubiks Cube, and an iPod. Definitely high on the “unique” and “interesting” scale but probably not so much on mobility.

Still, the little cube looks to make for a very interesting object for desktops and office use (as it’s obviously not going to be very fun to use on the go) and gets a thumbs up for creative thinking in a device.

The controls look extremely precise given the scheme, and with the innovations in motion sensing recently seen in handheld and gaming spheres; it’s a bit of a shock that this sort of thing hasn’t been explored more.

The player is made by ELM and you can read more about it on the elm-chan.org website
