Iphone-orchestra-278x225 Reseacher Ge Wang from Stanford University has turned the iPhone into an instrument. He adapted the iPhone in such a way that when the person blows into the microphone, the smart phone emits a musical note. Other sounds are controlled and produced by tilting the phone up or down. The touch screen can be used to play the phone like piano, sort of. 

He and his team also invented wild wearable speakers that they wear on their hands like gloves, which amplify the sound. 

Using the iPhone and gloves, Wang and his crew play concerts. For more about their mobile phone orchestra, known as MoPhO, click here.

Who would have ever thought a phone could be the main instrument in an orchestra? How cool. You can see a video by clicking the link above or read an article in IEEE Spectrum
