Mi.Mu Data Glove

[mashby]

I'm a big fan of Imogen Heap and the music she creates. She's just launched a new Kickstarter campaign for a data glove called Mi.Mu. It's being designed as a music controller primarily, but there are plenty of other ways it could be used, I'm sure.

Below is a video of her demonstrating how one of the prototypes works.

Expensive, but pretty cool!

Reminds me of a more mobile version of The Polyphonic Me TED Talk

Sweet... now where is my virtual reality internet?

This is still way out of my price range ($2000 for one glove or $4000 for two), but it looks pretty awesome. Would be fun to try to DIY something similar.

This is really interesting, being able to tune music in real time without moving a slider!

I'm not sure how well it would work with live music though.

I want VR/AR to come. Now.
