Body movement to create music
July 13, 2004 | Source: BBC News
Scientists are developing ways of capturing human movement in three dimensions which would allow music to be created or web pages browsed with the gesture of an arm.
The system captures 3D movements using infrared light projected onto tiny reflective balls attached to clothing and monitored by 12 cameras.
The computer tracks the changing positions of the balls and turns different gestures into instructions for music software.
