What is Optical Theremin?
Optical Theremin is a creative, camera-powered musical instrument that lets you play eerie tones just by moving your hands. Inspired by the classic theremin, this app detects your movements using your phone's front-facing camera and translates them into real-time audio.
Ideal for experimental musicians, kids, teachers, or anyone interested in sound, Optical Theremin turns your smartphone into a hands-free synthesizer.
You can control pitch, volume, gain and other parameters through movement, and choose between a synthesized sound and your own recording.
