Mems also are being used in more-exotic specialty products. Roger Smith, a former Analog engineer, started Source Audio LLC, in Woburn, Mass., to make a $400 device called Hot Hand that a guitarist can wear on his finger like a large ring. Using mems to sense hand motions, the wireless device can control distortion and other sound effects by hand motion instead of stationary floor-pedals. Among early users are guitarists Rusty Ross and Damian Kulash of the band OK Go, which won YouTube's 2006 music-video award.

ah ha! I'd been wondering about that ring for months now. I knew it had to do something (I thought maybe they used it as a percussive device). Mystery solved!!! Thanks.
