Title: Mi.Mu Data Glove
Post by: mashby on Sat, 22 March 2014, 13:36:34

I'm a big fan of Imogen Heap (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imogen_Heap) and the music she creates. She's just launched a new Kickstarter campaign for a data glove called Mi.Mu (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mimu/mimu-glove-for-music). 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

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.

[Didn’t realize there was already a thread on this; thanks for merging my comment into it.]

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.  :(

Here’s a kind of interesting PhD thesis relevant to this topic:
