Here's a new way to control a radio: by rolling it. The design is simple, with the direction you roll the R1 Radio doing one of two things. Sliding it up and down will adjust the volume, as well as turn the radio off; side-to-side and you can adjust tuning.
From the designer: "An analog ...

Rolling R1 Radio Concept

... control the radio more intuitively. By using a wheel structure user can control the radio by physical movement. The ‘R1’ allowed users to turn gadget on or off and to control volume and tuning simply by physically rolling the radio forward, backward and sideways.

... puns or something is just enormous! Or it would be, if these were somehow combined into one incredibly awesome radio.

R1 Radio - Move to Tune
Hacked Gadgets - DIY Tech Blog —
The R1 Radio reminds me of a roller ball mouse without the roller ball. When you move it up and down you control the volume, right and left adjusts the tuning. We have seen some other fun music players that use physical movement to interact with them, I think there is a use for this technology other than just the cool novelty factor.
