How do I start playing hand gesture music?

What is hand gesture music?

It is music you play by moving your hands in front of a camera instead of touching a physical instrument. Gesture Synth maps those movements to sound in real time.

What do I need to play?

Use a modern browser with a webcam, then allow camera access when you open an instrument. No special controller is needed.

Which instrument should I try first?

Try Sprunki Finger Loops for a playful first mix, Gesture Piano for individual notes, or Air Drums for a direct tap-and-hit rhythm.
