If you’re ever a fan of Rolling Stone you’ll soon figure out where the new Big Tongue Phone gets its inspiration. And the answer is actually Rolling Stone’s big tongue logo drawn by John Pasche in 1970, which appeared for the first time on the album of “Sticky Fingers” in 1971.

Measuring four feet tall and weighing 80 pounds each, the transparent speaker can produce a full 360° of sound and that’s about as perfect as other speakers. So how does the speaker work? According to the folks from Greensound, the base of each speaker can vibrate and the different areas of the glass slabs can create different frequencies of sounds, and hence a 360° of sound is produced. As mentioned above, you may one day see the window act as a speaker, too. Let’s just wait and see. [Read the rest of this entry...]

If you think only certain instruments like the guitars and pianos could clearly show us how music is played, then let me correct you because the Noteput Music Table can perform that task as well as the instruments, or even better. It is an interactive musical device, allowing you to see, to hear and to feel the music simultaneously. The musical table employs the camera-based marker tracking, which could identify each note and their positions. So music (or sound) would then be created and heard as you place the musical notes onto the table. The notes could be played by using the sound of different instruments.
