Hacking Kinect might get you access to an
audible air guitar, but Stephane Berscot can do you one better -- tweaking the pitch of a
tangible axe via Leap Motion's
virtual work space. Berscot configured a
Leap
tweak his guitar's pitch based on the instrument's position over the
device. That's not all, either, the makeshift MIDI controller also
functions as a keyboard equalizer and a set of functional air drums.
Combining all three tricks together scored Berscot a pretty mean demo
track, but it's apparently a lot harder than it looks. "It wasn't easy
to play drums with it," he said, explaining how he had to detect beats
based tracking the upward and downward velocity of the drumstick. "My
method is pretty basic and still needs some work." Even so, the demo
definitely shows the device's
potential. Skip on past the break to see Berscot kick out the jams.
