Angela M. Sheehan has been experimenting with something she is calling the “Beatbox Hoop”. She’s using a conductive fabric taped hoop as a switch for a hacked stylophone beatbox toy embedded in her track jacket. The conductive patches on the arm and hip of the jacket are the contact points for generating sound from the beatbox. She’s still figuring out ideal placement and such, but it’s pretty interesting. Angela is a digital artist, crafter and DIY enthusiast living in Dover, New Hampshire, USA.
That is soooooooooo cool! Can you imagine when these get perfected what it will do to the hooping world?
Yeah, what Aubrey said! Outstanding!
Thanks for checking out my project! I’m hoping to have some working prototypes at the San Mateo Maker Faire in May if any fellow hoopers will be there and want to give them a try.
