Special thanks to Andrew @ technophilia To the majority of us, we know the Kazoo to be a one-note instrument that provides some fun making all sorts of weird noises with our mouth. However, the basic principles have been taken an adopted into a versatile…
Special thanks to: guohf @ Pingwest How an intelligent instrument is to evolve into an open platform: iKazoo is connected to the reality and the virtual world! Kazoo是一款特殊的乐器，在用户不会乐理的情况下，能够识别用户哼唱时发出语调，通过振动膜片将声音放大，从而奏出自己想要的曲调。 但是这样的产品终归有点单调，开始时，你觉得很酷，而时间一长，你便再也提不起兴趣。于是，一位叫Nasrin Zadeh的设计师在这个的基础上，制作了iKazoo。 首先，这款在Kazoo基础上制作的电子长笛也具备Kazoo在音乐上的功能。 iKazoo整个表面都可以进行触摸或者打击操作，在不同的位置操作可以产生不一样的效果，能够通过手指操作产生电子音或者Beat Box。同时，当你停止演奏，把iKazoo从嘴边拿开时，内置的麦克风能够记录和修改你的声音。并且，iKazoo能够通过蓝牙与手机或者平板连接起来。 在Zadeh看来，iKazoo不光是一个音乐器材，而且也是能够通过和移动设备连接起来，为人们带来完善娱乐体验的工具。 iKazoo是一个建立在开源硬件Arduino上的一款设备，配备了光学、手势传感器，这就让iKazoo成为了游戏手柄，用户手持它能够随时随地玩你所喜爱的游戏。同时，激活iKazoo上的两个LED，便能够通过摄像头与手机、平板、PC连接起来。 只需要将iKazoo放在设备前，通过Driver应用便可以搜索设备并且同步。在光学、手势传感器的支持下，用户不再需要在屏幕上操作，通过iKazoo便能够实现各种操作。 当然，除了实现手势操作，iKazoo的感应器也能够管理用户其他行为。用户可以把它当成计步器使用，查看日常行为对于关节的损耗，也可以在你慢跑时帮助制作曲子。 在产品（iKazoo）开发团队——Ogaco看来，iKazoo的发布只是第一步，未来致力于打造成开放平台，能够连接现实与虚拟世界。在Ogaco创建的开源社区Ogaco Gadgets上，用户可以建立各种关于iKazoo的项目，将各种App与iKazoo结合起来。 目前，iKazoo的产品原型已经做出。为了实现量产，面向更多消费者，iKazoo在Indegogo上发起了筹款项目。 整理自iKazoo Indegogo页面
