Benedetta Piantella Simeonidis and Lesley Flanigan “Ravezooka” –
“The Ravezooka is a musical weapon that shoots a wide range of powerful “hardcore” sounds based on your target’s distance from the instrument.
Hardware: Arduino, Ultrasonic Range Sensor, Infrared Proximity Sensor, Luxeon LED, amplifier, laptop computer
Sound: Resembles an analog synthesizer manipulating sine wave frequencies with the aggressiveness of a machine gun. User controls include the range of frequencies (based on distance of target), distortion effects (based on handle slider position), volume control (potentiometer dial), and on/off (handle trigger switch).
Design: A playful visual synthesis of a guitar and a bazooka, the Ravezooka is simultaneously a stylish musical weapon of audio destruction and fun with its solid canon shaped form, comfortable wearabilty, and fantastic hip looks! “ – Link.

See the previous article for the counter-measures suite. ;-)
it’d be nice if they’d put some longer clips up on youtube!
I’m definately interested, but I’d like to see a little better demonstration!
