Harmonix aims beyond the music, wants to get physical

Guitar Hero and Rock Band may have catapulted games developer Harmonix into the spotlight, but the games studio looks set to branch out more into motion-based, Kinect-friendly titles. Talking to our sister site, Joystiq , Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos said that his company’s success with Dance Central had left them with an “affinity for motion gaming.” With Guitar Hero currently in rehab , this might be a little clue to Harmonix’s future releases. Gymnastics Hero, anyone?

DiaForce film captures your virtuoso performance, could replace guitar pickups

Do you shred it up on the guitar and wish there were a way to capture your one-of-a-kind technique — every bend, hammer and slide? Well then, get thee to the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering where a few musically-inclined scientists — closet Hendrix fans, we assume — have managed to translate every pluck of the string into a laptop-processed digital control signal. To do this the team layered guitar tailpieces (that part on the end with the knobs and strings) with a ten-micrometer piece of the powerfully named, piezoresistive DiaForce film and recorded string tension with absolute precision

Air Pick finally lets you ditch that dumb guitar

Every guitar player in history, no matter how cool he or she might be, has had one fatal flaw — that goofy stringed instrument. Finally, one brave company is liberating rockstars from their leash-like attachment to the thing. Flair’s Air Pick is an oversized guitar pick that features built-in jams like “Satisfaction,” “Born to be Wild,” “Smoke on the Water,” and “Sweet Home Alabama” — you know, the sort of songs you used to have to own a guitar or a funny-looking belt to play.
