Project Concept & Motivation


Concept - Our project will allow users to play
virtual musical instruments. The prototype
uses embedded components to detect and
communicate user gestures, via Bluetooth, to
a base station that plays the appropriate
sound.
Motivation - Intuitive virtual instruments that
allow multiple musicians to play together do
not exist. Our prototype will allow players to
have jam sessions on a gesture controlled
device capable of simulating several
instruments.
