MusicCube is an expressive tangible interface for controling your Mp3 playlists remotely, it makes contol more exciting and fun when compared to regular interfaces.
The idea arised from the fact if you want to play music, you need to walk to your computer or make use of some dull remote control. The MusicCube is a device that communicates wirelesly with your computer and controls music reproduction software, it doesn't have speakers! You can recognize playlists by the colors of the MusicCube, you can address a different color to each side. The voice in the video serves as support to inform you about which music or playlist you are listening to, it also provides feedback on your actions. However the voice can also be turned off, because feedback is provided through subtle light en sound changes as well.
I developed MusicCube in 2004 as part of my graduation from Industrial Design Engeneerging at TU Delft, we looked into making it at that time. Unfortunately it just remained a working prototype.

  • That's a nice and exciting project :)

    There’s a very different (and exciting!) new project, called Music Cubes ;) , which shows a new way of interacting with music, by holding balls mid-air and using them as notes for playing music! (We have added a video of this project as a Video Response)

  • Seems like a Magical Cube... :-)

  • its a nice concept but with a smal screen to directly control and edit playlist on the go it would be more atractive. the idea of shaking= random is pretty cool.
