Laser cut from aluminium and then CNC cold-formed, it encases an iPhone or iPod touch in a way that leaves the fingers free to interact with physically defined regions on the screen.\u00a0All this happens without interfering with the intuitive process of actually playing music; no distraction from whether the device is secure, or looking to see where to place the fingers.<\/p>\n<p>You may think this sounds a bit like a 21st Century Theremin, but there is actually a whole lot more to the Motion Synth. A true laser cut success story, the Motion Synth is a showpiece for the integration of digital manufacturing technologies such as laser cutting with high-end electronic devices.<\/p>\n<p>Auug&#8217;s Motion Synth is a fantastic example of how laser cutting gives product developers the ability to go from concept to fully functional prototype in a smooth, efficient workflow. Already highly resolved prior to the successful Kickstarter campaign, the commercial product has also received serious attention from investors on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.auug.com\/portfolio\/sharktank_video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Shark Tank Australia.<\/a>\u00a0By working with the available technologies and making clever use of their combined strengths, AUUG founder Dr Joshua Young is breaking new ground with the Motion Synth.<\/p>\n<p>We highly recommend checking out\u00a0the product videos on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.auug.com\/videos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">auug.com<\/a> to see just how amazing this combination of physical and electronic components can be, and you can also learn more about the product development and public funding process at the Motion Synth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1892750571\/the-motion-synth-turn-movement-into-music\/description\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Kickstarter campaign.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motion Synth: A Laser Cut Kickstarter Success Story<\/p>\n<p>When the\u00a0Auug\u00a0team dreamed up their novel music interface the\u00a0Motion Synth, they knew that there would be a great response from musicians and enthusiasts alike.
