« Gregor Hanuschak (who, in a previous life, worked for NASA)
has put together a Kickstarter project for the Smack
Attack, an in-car gadget that lets users make those steering
wheel drum solos a bit more substantial.
Here’s the
project in a nutshell: the Smack Attack system consists of two
separate parts, a steering wheel cover and an app for the iOS device
of your choosing. Once that wheel cover is connected to your iDevice
via Bluetooth, wannabe Ringo Starrs out there can trigger preloaded
drum samples in the app thanks to eight pressure sensors that are
nestled snugly inside the fabric of the cover. Naturally, you’ll
also be able to customize the samples that get triggered so you can
swap out that snare drum for a Wookiee bellow (because, you know, why
not?). Oh, and in the event you’re not traveling alone, the app
allows for other would-be drummers to jam at the same time… which
could spell disaster for your trip depending on how talented your
companions are. »
