ABSTRACT
The article discusses the Noiseboard project, a sensor-equipped skateboard that allows for creating music while skateboarding. Unlike previous projects, the musical augmentation of the board does not limit the movement possibilities of the skater who can do all the usual tricks. The project is designed to be a skateboard augmented with musical feedback primarily but can also be intended as a tangible interface for music performance based on the use of the skateboard. The system was created by embedding sensors and wireless technology in a novel way into a skateboard, and the technical choices and possible scenarios are discussed in detail. The system’s feasibility and functionality were tested during live music performances, and current limitations and possible future improvements are presented.
