  • Publication number: 20200333884
    Abstract: A motion feedback device includes a housing, a speaker and a control module carried by the housing. The control module includes a controller and a motion sensor. The controller is configured to produce different audio feedback through the speaker in response to different user-produced movement of the housing. In addition, the optical and haptic feedback can be used to direct motion to achieve desired sound patterns (music). One or more embodiments of the device provide different audio, visual and haptic feedback in response to different user-produced motions and positions of the housing as well as direct motion to achieve a particular sound.
