Inspiration
We decided to go with the theme of the hackathon and create something related to music. So we came up with the idea to make an instrument that can be played without physically having the instrument. We created the 'Air Guitar'.
What it does
It uses our webcam to take the video and then we can just wave our hands to play chords on a guitar.
How we built it
We built it using the mediapipe and opencv library in python to detect the body pose of a person and get the joint coordinates. We then used the joint coordinates to calculate their respective positions to play a chord tune based on its location.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are able to play the 'Air Guitar' using our hand gestures.
What we learned
We learned a lot from this project. We learned how to extract the body joint coordinates using mediapipe and then use it in our program.
What's next for Air Guitar
We plan to include more instruments like keyboards and drums for more people to play in the same frame.
