Creating Music by Finger Tapping

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Petr Hampl's Futuristic Concept

— November 11, 2008 — Tech
We often hear about musicians writing a chart topping song on the bus, or while watching the sun set on the beach. Designer Petr Hampl came up with a concept design that will help musicians catch that inspiration anywhere with the tap of their fingers, literally.

The heart of the concept design is a glove with friction-sensitive sensors on its fingertips. A recorder on the back of the glove takes this input, sends it wirelessly (probably via Bluetooth) to your headset and saves it for later editing of the new masterpiece.

I love this new direction of designs that let you do things with your fingers. Check out more below.
Trend Themes
1. Finger-tap Music Creation - The concept of creating music through finger tapping offers a disruptive innovation opportunity by enabling musicians to capture inspiration anywhere and anytime.
2. Friction-sensitive Sensors - The use of friction-sensitive sensors on a glove presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for various industries, allowing for enhanced interaction and control in different applications.
3. Wireless Recording and Editing - The integration of wireless recording and editing capabilities into a musical glove provides a disruptive innovation opportunity by streamlining the creative process for musicians.
Industry Implications
1. Music Production - The music production industry can leverage finger-tap music creation to enhance music creation and exploration processes.
2. Wearable Technology - The wearable technology industry can capitalize on the use of friction-sensitive sensors on gloves to offer advanced interaction and control in various applications.
3. Audio Recording and Editing - The audio recording and editing industry can benefit from the integration of wireless recording and editing capabilities in musical gloves, simplifying the creative workflow for musicians.
