Kinect BeatWheel Mod Provides Innovative Way To Control Music (video)
We have featured many amazing Microsoft Kinect motion sensor
modifications and hacks here on Geeky Gadgets over the past 12 months
since its launch. But this Kinect BeatWheel adds an innovative way to
create music using the Kinect device and moving your arms to control the sounds. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action.
Its creators explain:
"A sample is chopped up into eighth note slices (or any increment) and arranged like a clock face around you. The currently playing
slice is controlled by your left hand’s position in space. This allows
you to remix a loop by waving your hand around. The red dot indicates
your hand’s position, the green bar indicates the currently playing
slice, and the blue bar moves at the tempo of the song to serve as a
guide.”
