OWOW micro-controllers



These five tiny MIDI controllers are designed for different gestural expression. Wob is a proximity sensor, Wiggle is a 3D rotation sensor (like a WiiMote), Drum implements velocity-sensitive air-drumming, Pads gives you four micro-pads for sample triggering, and Scan allows you to draw lines and then read them back into MIDI. This last may be the most innovative.

Each comes as either device form (DVC) or bare cards (CRD) at 120 and 55 Euro respectively. In the second case you get the 3D files to print your own casing, if you like.

The Omnipresent World Of Wizkids was founded by Pieter-Jan Pieters after completing his "Sound on Intuition" thesis at Eindhoven Academy, Netherlands. They recently reached their Kickstarter goal. Target delivery date is February 2016.
