Project Brainstorming

Just a list of some ideas..

1. Utilizing a macbook camera to capture light and translate it to sound or visuals
2. Using a kinect to record movement and translate it to midi to be used for a VST
3. Or more specifically, use a kinect to record someone "playing drums," and recreate the drum sound through midi
4. Create a visualizer the interacts with sound or recorded motion
5. Use visualizer to interact with any spin off of 1-3
6. Ok, I really painted myself into a corner with the motion capture ideas. How about motion capturing people to interact with an avatar on screen? What if you could fight a second person Mortal Kombat style?
7. Being able to manipulate a picture or sound with hand gestures. Maybe even a picture the user takes.
8. At this point my mind is leaning towards demo scene type challenges. Putting as much rendering or visuals in a scene as possible, while keeping the code as simple as possible?
9. I'm thinking more specifically using the kinect and processing to mimic a theremin? That could work
10. Really anything that has to do with interactive sound. I even thought about recording a real drum set, and using it as samples for 3.
