Gesture-Controlled Instruments

The Titan Reality Pulse Turns Mid-Air Gestures Into 3D Music

— November 4, 2015 — Tech
The Titan Reality Pulse is a 3D music controller that can take touchless gestures as well as direct contact and interpret them into musical notes.

The 3D music maker resembles a Roomba vacuum cleaner more than it does a conventional instrument -- but it's actually an incredibly sophisticated digital music creator. There are seemingly endless possibilities for 3D music creation with the Pulse. For example, it can be programmed to make the sounds of several different instruments at once, with LED colored zones on the instrument indicating which part of its surface corresponds to which instrument. It can also recognize gestures, like strumming for guitar chords and stick tapping for drums. In other words, the Pulse can take an air guitarist and instantly turn them into a real guitarist.

The 3D music maker is an incredible piece of technology, and although priced at $1200, it would make any musician incredibly happy.
