C++ powered AirHarp lets you play without touching

Leap motion technology is totally impressive. Weekend hacker Adam Somers used this USB motion sensor device and his exceptional C++ coding skills to turn his computer into a musical instrument. AirHarp shows up on the computer screen and lets you play it just by 'commanding' it like a King (or Queen). Of course the whole thing won't eliminate the basic requirement for playing any musical instrument - 'talent'. If you're a C++ programmer who doesn't have any important assignments this weekend, we'd recommend ordering the #-Link-Snipped-#. The product will ship in early 2013. Until then, figure out your own ideas and ways to implement them. You may grab the GitHub - AdamSomers/airharp: Prototype Motion controlled harp demo. We've a video of the AirHarp for your viewing pleasures -
