The Virtual
Theremin.
Requires a video camera connected to your
computer. Not all that easy to get to work.
A wierd musical device you control by moving your hands.
Requires a lot of fiddling and a video camera hooled to your computer
(a USB based caera like a Logitec seemed to work for me) not a still
camera but one which takes movies. The ned result is a musical
'thing' which tracks the movements of your hands and head to create
music. It works best if you wear a black long sleve shirt and stand
in front of a black background. White gloves also help quite a bit.
