The theremin is an interesting electronic instrument. I wonder if a similar instrument could be created with computer vision or a couple of Leap Motion controllers as a coding project.
The theremin (/ˈθɛrəmɪn/; originally known as the ætherphone/etherphone, thereminophone or termenvox/thereminvox) is an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact by the performer (who is known as a thereminist). It is named after its inventor, Leon Theremin, who patented the device in 1928.
The instrument's controlling section usually consists of two metal antennas which sense the relative position of the thereminist's hands and control oscillators for frequency with one...
One ought to be able to build one with a minimum of parts: a Raspberry Pi and two ultrasonic distance detectors.
