The goal is to build air drums that are realistic as much as possible.
A usual 30 FPS web camera will be used for motion tracking.
The drums will be controlled by drum sticks with colored heads and colored spots on your feet.
Python 3.6 or higher is required.
Play the air drums by running play_drums.py. To quit the application press q.
Settings file can be passed as parameter -s=relative_path_to_settings_file.
If not specified, the default settings settings/drum_set_basic.yaml is used.
At first calibrate your drum sticks. Reset color by pressing r. Put the colored
head of your drum stick to the circle (make the circle larger or smaller by l/s)
and press c. Then press n to proceed to the next calibration point.
Go through all calibration points. Then calibrate the
second drum stick. The calibration can be quited by q.
- Add automatic tracker calibration.
- Improve tracker for fast movements.
- Calibrate the position of percussion by playing them virtually in the air.
- Play the sound when the drum stick changed the acceleration and is close to the percussion.
- Add better and more percussion sounds (as submodule).
- Add image with drum scene on the output instead of the video stream.
- Create GUI using Kivy.
