Use your webcam to identify gestures and trigger any script

How do you use it?

This website identifies 6 basic gestures and sends a MIDI message. You can use tools like LoopMidi in Windows or IAC driver in OSX to create a MIDI port and connect the website to Ableton or any other DAW.

If you are familiar with Python you can also catch the MIDI with midi_example.py, it's a simple script that receives the messages and prints them. You can replace the print statement for anything else you want.

For more details about the website development check this repository.

Python script usage

1. Install required python modules

python -m pip install requirements.txt

2. Run the script

python midi_example.py

3. Go to the website and modify the selection bar in order to choose the midi output (Instead of None).
