Let’s face it: There’s no one in the world who knows you quite as well as Google does. It’s the only place we’ll get truly, uncomfortably intimate, revealing every bodily function, personal secret, bizarre question, and government-watch-list-worthy keyword.

antonios bouris‘s insight:

Mogees is an innovative new way for everyone to let their musical imagination run wild, transforming the objects around us into unique and powerful musical instruments. Mogees consists of a mobile app and a small sensor that detects and analyses the vibrations that we make when we interact with the objects around us, and uses a special sound technique to alter their acoustic properties so as to make them musical. Above all, it’s about everyone making beautiful music out of ordinary objects.
