Techno Teddy

jazzman writes "In an attempt to push technology into realms it had better never set a foot on, the guys from flugeldufel have modified some consumer hardware and created a unique musical instrument: it looks like a teddy bear, feels like a teddy bear, and transforms gestures into 44kHz breakbeats."

This guy's work with making music with ultrasonic sensors. I saw his stuff a London dorkbot meeting where he let us play with these things.

Waving your hands around in a analogue space above sensors to create music is a weird experience - quite unlike playing the keyboard or strumming a guitar.
