Shake Your Umbrella for a Random Song

thhamm writes "If you happen to see people wildly shaking and dancing with their white umbrellas in the street, don't call them crazy just yet. They might just be controlling their iPod with an iBrella: "The iBrella is a special umbrella that acts as an iPod interface. One can control the iPod just by his physical interactions with the iBrella." Theres a video of it in action, too. The ideal gadget to use while driving your motorized couch maybe?"

IT'S NOT AN ACCESSORY FOR SALE, IT'S AN ART PROJECT

Am I the only person who understood this right away? Please cut the end off the url and visit the main page for more info, here I'll make it easy:

proto-typen.org is a small group of students from the University Karlsruhe and from the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Karlsruhe.

Having been introduced to the creative and hands-on way of using mikrocontrollers and elektronics in the Seminar Showoff devices" led by Hannes Nehls and Matt Karau, many students wished to continue experimenting and designing artwork in the future.

Several objects from the seminar have been or are being displayed at the HfG, many other expositions are planned FOR THE FUTURE.
