Hi, I'm not sure if you've looked into this or not, but another area that is interested in this sort of thing and might be very excited is musical gesture recognition.


Hey, I believe there are multiple things you could have meant. From the top of my head one thing that might be interesting would be an application that allows conductors to conduct a virtual orchestra. But there are other possibilities in this space too I'm sure! If you had something else in mind feel free to share.

I have not explored this space much so far as my focus is rather to build the infrastructure that enables such applications rather than building the applications myself.


Also look at leap motion. https://www.ultraleap.com/product/leap-motion-controller/ (tip: mouser has them in stock and usually the best price) with midipaw http://www.midipaw.com/ (free)

Latency is very low which is very important for this use case. Look on YouTube for demos.
