Gamer Creates ‘Theremin Hero’ Air Guitar
CYBERSPACE: Developer Greig Stewart has modified the wildly popular video Guitar Hero game
for a stringless instrument. Stewart is the creator of “Theremin Hero Air
Guitar,” a replica of the game played on the radio frequency device. A theremin
consists of metal antennas that pick up and transmit hand movements that
control oscillators and amplifiers. The result is a truly air-based air guitar
game.
“For single player mode, a software ‘bot’ reads the screen and detects which
chords are coming up. When the player strums a note which is part of a chord,
the bot automatically adds in the rest of the note button presses to make up
the full chord,” Stewart writes at the YouTube site where he’s posted a demo of
Theremin Hero.
He said the software still has too many bugs to be released.
