Theremin Pugh Matrix

Theremin recording device setups

  • Infrared LED Panel Distance recording
    • Its ability to calculate distance is very accurate and is used in other appliances world-wide. Being on an x and y axis enables it to tell where the object is on in reference to the panel's height and width as well as the speed at which the light is received - thus the depth.
  • Xbox Kinect
    • Used for capturing 3D gestures and direction with 180% view arc. With the open-source ability it is able to be used for many things ranging from animated bone meshes in 3D games design or even in just monitoring the 3D location of gestures on a Theremin.
  • Orientation Sensors
    • These are built into most smartphones these days  and can record acceleration and orientation enabling a semi-accurate depiction of which direction in 3D space and how much force is applied to each gesture. It is lacking in its ability to detect the correct distance in 3D space however.
  •  GPS
    • Global position systems are almost useless in such an application, we added this device to set a baseline standard of calculating location. Due to relativity and inaccuracies due to distance of triangulating signals, this method of detecting location within a 1 metre cube is rather poor if existent at all.

Criteria is the following:
  • Movement Speed Detection
  • Usability
  • Set up difficulty
  • Portability
  • Accuracy / Precision
  • Cost
