The Theremin is a musical instrument that uses the positions of the performers hands to create sound.
The Virtual Theremin aims to mimic the Theremin using just a computer and a cheap web camera.
It tracks the hands of a performer, using image processing techniques, around a picture of a Theremin superimposed on the video stream.
The positions of the hands are then converted to sound that mimics the response of the Theremin.

Re: The Virtual Theremin
As an owner of an Etherwave, I found this project interesting because it moves away from the typical flash/java based, mouse-controlled simulations and allows the user to use it hands free as a theremin ought to be played. Pretty ambitious.
