mi.mu gloves wearable tech let you make music through movement. The mi.mu team will present current work using their latest sensor-enabled gloves for performance and composition. mi.mu is a small start-up founded by Imogen Heap, comprising musicians, artists, scientists and technologists developing a truly elegant fusion of modern textiles with advanced motion tracking electronics and algorithms. Dedicated gesture detection and mapping software offer a new and flexible approach to the control of music and visuals with intuitive human movement. Users experience a dramatic shift in their perceptions of music performance and composition as the technology fades away and becomes instinctive, unleashing new realms of creative expression. This presentation will highlight some of the different ways the gloves are currently being used for music, visuals, storytelling, and beyond.
