HandsON Music

A browser based interaction demo that uses hand tracking to control music playback and trigger rhythm sounds. The goal is to turn simple gestures into a lightweight audio control layer.

Hand Gesture Music Demo

How the Demo Works

HandsON Music turns hand movements into a small audio control interface. The right hand handles playback actions such as play, pause, track navigation, and volume. The left hand adds rhythm triggers, so the interaction feels closer to a gesture based performance tool than a standard media player.

Left Hand · Rhythm Layer

The left hand adds rhythm sounds on top of the music player.

  • Thumb + index tip => Cymbal 1
  • Thumb + middle tip => Cymbal 2
  • Thumb + ring tip => Kick
  • Rhythm gestures => simple gesture based drum pad

Right Hand · Playback Control

The right hand controls playback. Fingertip contact triggers actions. Volume is controlled with a stable hand pose.

  • Thumb + index tip => Play
  • Thumb + middle tip => Pause
  • Thumb + ring tip => Next track
  • Thumb + pinky tip => Previous track
  • Volume mode => fold ring and pinky into the palm
  • Set volume => distance between thumb and index middle pair

Tip: allow camera access and enable sound first. Gesture detection works best when the hand is clearly visible and the background is not too noisy.
