Hand Gesture Synth: Building a Web Audio Instrument with MediaPipe
measure_plan · x · 2026-07-23
A developer built a hand-controlled synthesizer using JavaScript, Web Audio API, and MediaPipe. Moving the hand left and right plays different notes, while up-and-down movement controls the volume. Users can customize the synth sound and assign specific fingers to trigger a "pluck" effect. The source code is publicly available among the author's 30+ open-source projects.
