Instruments of Things has announced SOMI-1, wearables that measure movement and transform it into sound

SOMI-1 is a highly precise sensor technology that provides performers, musicians and creators the opportunity of making music via movements. It consists of Bluetooth motion sensors, a receiver hub and a smartphone app (as possible sound source). The sensors can be worn as wearables on the wrists and ankles, turning the user into an instrument.

The SOMI-1 motion sensors measure movements and accelerations in different directions and transform them into sound in real-time. The motion data of the SOMI-1 sensors is received wirelessly via Bluetooth 5 by the SOMI-1 hub, that connects to your sound source via USB or TRS-MIDI (e.g. your phone).

SOMI-1 can be used as a common MIDI controller with compatible software or hardware.

The SOMI-1 is offered in kits of two to six sensors on Kickstarter, with the campaign having launched on the 19th September. Instrument of Things has set the funding goal for the SOMI-1 campaign at €50,000. The lowest tier package that includes a full kit is set at €379, which is 43% off the retail price of €669.
