Unveiled at this year’s CES 2012, the Board of Awesomeness has been
brought to our attention by a team from Chaotic Moon. In fact, this may
be the team you’d least expect to come up with something like this. The
objective of the
mobile app-making
studio was to take on the “
mobile” aspect of its
business to the next level.
The
electric
skateboard is equipped with a Kinect Sensor fixed to the front of a
longboard so it faces back at the rider to detect their movements and
gestures. These are translated into commands used to control the board’s
800 watt
electric motor, which is powered by a 36 volt
battery and can carry the rider at speeds of up to 32 mph. The all-terrain tyres means that the board can also head off road!
