In this paper we present the development of a new gestural musical instrument, the AirSticks 2.0. The AirSticks 2.0 combines the latest advances in sensor fusion of Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) and low latency wireless data transmission over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), to give an expressive wireless instrument capable of triggering and manipulating discrete and continuous sound events in real-time. We outline the design criteria for this new instrument that has evolved from previous prototypes, give a technical overview of the custom hardware and software developed, and present short videos of three distinct mappings that intuitively translate movement into musical sounds.
