It’s Kickstarter time again, only instead of bringing you the strange fruits of amazing amateur inventors, this gadget comes from a pair of seasoned toy designers.
The Air Guitar Move for iPhone is a guitar pick that plugs into your phone. Inside the pick is an accelerometer, so it knows just how hard you are thrashing. A pair of companion apps work with the Move to actually give it some functionality.
One, a “free play” app, lets you finger chords on the touch-screen, whilst you strum them with the pick. You can also shake the iPhone around to vary the sound, much like bending the neck of the guitar.
The second app is a Rock Band-alike game, and the pick and screen become the controllers.
The brains behind the Air Guitar Move are Colin Karpfinger, who previously came up with Thumbies, an iPhone controller sold by Best Buy, and Ronald Mannak, inventor of the V-Beat AirDrums and V-Beat AirGuitar (a toy guitar with a body you clip to your belt and a neck and headstock you hold in your left hand. Suffice it to say, Mannak likes air guitar).
To get an Air Guitar Move you’ll need to pledge $39 or more. It already looks like the guys will make it: They already have alomost $7,000 of their $25,000 goal, and there are still 20 days to go.
