theremin

Background

I'm too poor to make a pyrophone and too incompetent at physics to design an ocarina so here I am.... making a theremin.

Setup

Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install all necessary libraries
Look through config.yml and set any variables you may want set

Dependencies

Some weird nitpicky things about the libraries I'm using:

mediapipe above 0.10.9 doesn't work
Python above 3.11 doesn't work (and there's probably a lower bound too but I have yet to try)

Usage/Instruction Manual

Run main.py in the /src/ folder
The way a theremin works:
1. left hand controls the volume and right hand controls pitch
2. the volume is controlled based on the y position of the left hand
  1. higher up means louder
  2. lower down means quieter
3. the pitch is controlled by the x position of the right hand
  1. closer to the right edge means higher pitch
  2. closer to the middle means lower pitch
  3. being on the left side of the screen will not produce sound
Enjoy! :)
