Today something very, very awesome! I think a lot of you know that as soon as Microsofts Kinect hit the stores some people bought it with the intention of hacking it and using it for something way cooler than the Xbox. One of the cool things you can do with a kinect is this project: Sound Moves Multimedia installation combines interactivity, real time sound production and projection mapping, under the artistic event OMH – Our Media Heads at SILOS.CR The freedom of body expression takes care of the musical content. The replacement of sound production hardware by multimedia solutions sets the future. People are tracked by Kinect sensor’s connected with Processing, then it sends midi signal for Reason5, allowing controlling synthesizers in real time with body moves.
