thefeature.com looks at new mobile sound devices @12:48 PM
cool article at thefeature.com today that takes a look at a few projects trying to redefine how music is listened to with mobile devices. The main two projects investigated are the Malleable Mobile Music System at sony csl in paris and the tUNA project by Michael Lew's colleagues at Media Lab Europe.
Man, I guess I need to publicize my project more...no talk of any GPS-location aware mobile music systems -- which seems to be such a large aspect of mobility (at least to me).
The csl project uses some sensing mechanisms to allow people to control different elements of the music via, for example, the amount of pressure they put on the device, etc. These relationships seem pretty one to one -- might be an interesting tool for a DJ to use (maybe...).
The tUNA project to me is more interesting -- allowing people to tap into other people's music feeds -- sort of like the whole iPod / Rendezvous thing, or the awaire design project from this past year's msr design expo.
The one thing cool about both (all all the other related stuff) these projects is that they require a more active role in the listening of music, which I think is a potentially really cool, if albeit different, trend.
