I modified a Powerglove to use it on PC; using C++ I programmed it for translating the detected spatial coordinates into MIDI messages. Now I'm gonna optimize the software in order to play synth with my band Simmetry.
is the sync of the video off or does it just not work very well? no offense intended. looks like a killer idea. but it just doesn't look responsive at all...
no offense at all: I'm still developing! about your question: both things! video is slightly off-sync 'cause I recorded/encoded on the same machine which was running the "Powerglove2MIDI" software. In addtion, there's a ~20ms delay caused by error correction routines and a little, additional delay caused by low-level MIDI calls. In the end, the glove itself is definitively slow. I'm optimizing the error routines and MIDI calls; soon I will post a new video showing the improved results!
I posted the new video, please check it out
