A new glove will turn even the most deficient in musical talent into rockstars.
Austin, Texas-based company Remidi made a glove, dubbed the T8, that allows you to create music simply by making gesture with your hand and fingers.
The glove works in tandem with a motion sensor bracelet, allowing you to create sounds by moving your fingertips or your entire hand. You can tap any surface and it will sound like you're playing on a keyboard.
Remidi recently surpassed their Kickstarter goal of $50,000 by raising $137,326. You can currently pre-order it on their website.
There are eight sensors embedded in the glove — three in the palm and one in each fingertip — that work with the bracelet to detect what direction your hand is moving and at what speed. The sensors can also detect how hard your fingertips press down onto a surface.
Here's how it works: you simply put on the glove and bracelet and open the Remidi app. Through the app, you can program what sound you want to play when you make a specific movement. So, you could tell the glove to play a particular musical note when you press your pinkie on a surface.
You can then record songs in real-time, on-the-go, and trust that they'll all be saved onto the app. The glove can send recordings over WiFi or Bluetooth.
You can also play music using Remidi over a background track or mix to make songs more engaging.
