DRUMMING ON PAPER

NOVALIA NOVELTY

    Paper Mache is so passé now...Coming up... Printed paper that can actually create music!

    7 scientists from UK have come up with an innovation that can shake up the whole concept of playing music



THE GEEKY PART:

    Touch sensors in sync with electronic ink power the paper and a very basic electronic circuit is the back end and when the paper has been touched the music is identifies. Making use of Printed Touch technology this model is being built.

THE COOL PART:

     The drum kit poster can be treated like a 7 piece drum kit..With flexibility to create your own tunes by adding beats to existing ones. 
Two versions are being worked on- an apple link that can be interfaced with iPhone/iPad via Bluetooth to "WIRELESSly" play it and another one that transforms the poster's surface to a speaker
  
     Made with paper,card and ink and easily recyclable-the electronics module is separable from the poster.. easy to sustain ..currently the team is working on cost-effective version 

Drummers across the globe would love to get their hands on one, Im sure.
