Having spent the last four years exporting their products to schools worldwide, Edinburgh-based Skoogmusic is tackling the mainstream consumer market.
With around nearly 2,000 Skoogs in schools from the UK to Australia and Hong Kong to the US, the founders of Skoogmusic, Ben Schögler and David Skulina, have created a new product for anyone to enjoy, and
have launched it on crowdfunding site indiegogo.com.
The Skoog, is an innovative, accessible, musical instrument for everyone, and was initially developed to help children with disabilities enjoy and play music. Roughly hand sized, the soft, squeezable Skoog allows users to ‘play’ a wide range of instruments, or sounds that they’ve recorded themselves; and in 2009 it was included by Local Education Authorities and Music Hubs as part of the Special Education Needs and mainstream music curriculum.

ii-Music is
a new musical instrument
for eyegaze, designed to
be played with your
eyes.
It operates using cursor
position and "dwell to
click” meaning that you
can use it with almost
any cursor control-based
system, including
head-trackers. No need
to read music or
memorise scales to give
this a go - all you need
is a love of music.
The software is also
compatible with Skoog,
so you can also use it
to enhance your
performance by changing
notes or adding effects
on the fly. |
