"* XYZ 3D Accelerometer - measures the playing force and angle of the bow
* Hair Tension Sensor - detects how hard the bow presses against the strings
* Grip Pressure Sensor - gives a measure of how hard you are gripping the bow
* Bow to Fingerboard - a measure of the distance you are playing from the fingerboard via the antennas embedded in the bow
* Bow Length - by interacting with the included fingerboard emitter, an infrared light sensor shows the distance from the bow frog to the strings of the instrument
* Bow Tilt - measures the angle of the bow, useful to know which string is being played"

Keith McMillen of course brought us the SoftStep and QuNeo alternate controllers. It looks like they are on a roll. See their website linked above for more and the Keith McMillen label below for posts featured here.
