In Insert Coin, we glance at an exhilarating new tech project that requires funding before it could hit production. In order for you to pitch a project, please send us a tip with “Insert Coin” because the subject line.
We are not sure proper air guitarists would ever consider adding a bonafide pick to their cherished imaginary pastime, but what if a petite plastic plectrum could turn those strokes into stringed acoustics that greater than just you may hear? That is the idea behind Air Guitar Move, a $50 motion-sensing guitar pick that pairs with a dedicated iPhone app using a single dock-connected string. The minds behind Move aren’t new to product design — Colin Karpfinger created Thumbies, a suction cup-based gaming control accessory for iPhone, and Ronald Mannak has launched other freestyle electronic toys, including the V-Beat AirDrums and AirGuitar — so in the event that they meet their $25,000 funding goal, we imagine that we are going to have a terribly solid iPhone accessory on our hands.
A $39 pledge gets you a single Move with a 20 percent discount, and a pledge of $49 will net you a select from the primary shipment, so you will be strumming away a month before folks within the first group. The creators have not begun to decide to a boat date, but head over to Kickstarter if you would like to make a pledge, or jump past the break for the intro video and an update on our last featured product, ZionEyez .
Previous project update: ZionEyez video-recording glasses , our last Insert Coin project, has tripled its funding goal of $55,000, and is on course to ship in late summer. There’s still 42 days left to pledge $150 in your own pair of the 720p specs, that are expected to retail for $199. Check back for our full review later this summer.
