In my role as lead industrial designer at HP corporate, I was asked to lead the ID on a few projects that highlighted the technology coming out of HP labs.

DJammer was the worlds first digital wireless device that allowed a DJ to "scratch" music completely free from the turntable.

The focus was to take a pile of technology and turn it into an instrument that synched like a fine instrument with the artist.



   

Every major surface on this device was an actuated button relating to the 3 controls on the turntable that allowed traditional scratching. On the inside were accelerometers that tracked the back and forth movements mimicking the moving of the record.

I also produced a promotional video
