It has been called “possibly the most undignified musical instrument ever,” and we are inclined to agree. It is the hipDisk, which was designed to by Danielle Wilde of the ANAT Emerging Technology Lab workshop, as a wearable hula hoop type musical device. It is designed to be used as a 12 notes chromatic scale where shaking the hips essentially creates the music.

The concept is that it is both mentally and physically demanding, especially to play actual tunes and songs. But we can’t help thinking that it is undignified, and there are so many better ways to move to the beat.

Kinetic(Mis)Shift are products that we think deserve to be called out for their utter lack of fitness benefits
