While there are a ton of unique and innovative products listed on Kickstarter and Indiegogo, sometimes there are products that look straight outta 2060! Mictic is one of those products, developed by a Zurich-based tech startup, and it translates your gestures and body movements and converts them into music in real-time.
The wristbands send a bunch of multi-access accelerometer data to the companion app on Android and iOS. The app then uses the data to determine what sounds to play. The wearables have four set sound patches or modes.
In the first mode, it generates robotic noises allowing you to create soundtracks for your sci-fi short film or maybe a robot dance that you just choreographed. The second mode is all about the beats as this mode spits out drum and bass riffs. The third mode lets you play piano and the fourth is the cell instrument.
As for availability, the company is currently running a Kickstarter campaign. It has already raised over $25,000 from 185 backers, as of writing this article. So, if you want a pair of Mictic bands for yourself, you can back the project with CHF 89 (~Rs 7,221) to pre-book the wearable. The company will start shipping the orders from September 2021.
