01 — Problem

What was hard about this

Traditional musical instruments have steep learning curves. Gesture-based interfaces can make music creation more accessible and interactive.

02 — Solution

How it works

Built a real-time vision-based musical interface using Python and OpenCV for hand gesture recognition, mapping detected gestures to MIDI chord synthesis for an intuitive, touchless musical experience.

03 — Impact

What shipped

  • Real-time hand gesture recognition via OpenCV
  • Gesture-to-MIDI chord mapping for touchless music creation
  • Low-latency computer vision pipeline for responsive interaction
  • Creative intersection of computer vision and music technology
