Inspiration
Since the developers are both musicians, we decided to integrate our love of music and software development.
What it does
Takes camera input and simulates a theremin based on the position of user's controller of choice.
How we built it
We integrated a number of separate Python libraries in order to have sound output, visual input and visual output work smoothly.
Challenges we ran into
Learning how to use the API for OpenCV and PyAudio was somewhat difficult at first, as we were jumping into new areas of software that we had never tried before.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are incredibly proud of finishing a task that successfully tracks an object in the camera's window and creates a sound based off of it. As we are both relatively new to programming, we had to work very hard to learn new content in a short amount of time.
What we learned
Don't reinvent the wheel - use existing solutions to problems and build upon them.
What's next for ThereMinimum
In addition to cleaning up functionality, we would like to build a web app so that users can access ThereMinimum easily and reliably.
