Abstract
Systems for a touchless musical instrument, where the touchless musical instrument includes: multiple sensors, where each sensor detects a presence of an object within a predetermined distance of the sensor; an audio speaker; a processor electrically connected to the sensors and the audio speaker; and executes instructions on the process to: receive, from the plurality of sensors, an object detection signal indicating a location of the object with respect to the plurality of sensors; generate an audio output signal based on the location of the object indicated by the object detection signal; and generate an audible output from the audio speaker by transmitting the audio output signal to the audio speaker.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors, where each sensor detects a presence of an object within a predetermined distance of the sensor;
- an audio speaker;
- a processor electrically connected to the plurality of sensors and the audio speaker;
- a computer-readable storage medium;
- a housing containing the audio speaker, the processor, and the computer-readable storage medium;
- a housing top having the plurality of sensors integrated into the housing top, the housing top physically coupled to the housing,
- wherein the computer-readable storage medium has instructions stored which, when executed by processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from the plurality of sensors, an object detection signal indicating a location of the object with respect to the plurality of sensors;
- generating an audio output signal based on the location of the object indicated by the object detection signal;
- and
- generating an audible output from the audio speaker by transmitting the audio output signal to the audio speaker.
A touchless musical instrument comprising:
- a plurality of sensors, where each sensor detects a presence of an object within a predetermined distance of the sensor;
- an audio speaker;
- a light;
- a processor electrically connected to the plurality of sensors and the audio speaker;
- a computer-readable storage medium;
- a housing containing the audio speaker, the processor, and the computer-readable storage medium;
- and
- a housing top having the plurality of sensors integrated into the housing top, the housing top physically coupled to the housing,
- wherein the computer-readable storage medium has instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from the plurality of sensors, an object detection signal indicating a location of the object with respect to the plurality of sensors;
- generating an audio output signal based on the location of the object indicated by the object detection signal;
- generating an audible output from the audio speaker by transmitting the audio output signal to the audio speaker;
- and
- generating an optical output by transmitting the audio output signal to the light.
