Playground Sound Candy - Playful Parasites + Laughing Swing

Pixelsumo posted a roundup of three sound additions to playgrounds.


Sound Candy is a wearable sampler that lets you record into its built-in mic and manipulate its sound by changes in speed, angle, vibration and rotation.

The Playful Parasites system uses playground props as musical instruments. Acceleration, tilt and proximity sensor data is sent to a computer via bluetooth to trigger sounds and projections around the park.

Laughing Swing is a swing that plays sounds of laughter as you swing on it. The higher up you swing, the harder it laughs.
