Make music anywhere,
anytime you want it .
What we offer?
Magic Hands
These Gloves which make your hands the piano
Direct Speakers
Portable speakers for independence of the AirBeats, producing sound whenever the gloves are activated.
Variety Of Tones
Featuring inbuilt tones to listen to.
Working on the project
How we made it come to reality.
A Brief Description
The AirBeats are one of a kind wearable glove, which brings beats to your fingers.
Too good to be true , it seems right ? You are welcome to try it out at our demo on 30th of April.
We used Arduino Lilypad , Peizoelectric Buzzer and Flex Sensors as the main componenets​.These have been soldered together for the perfect fit on any hand , using minimum circuitry , and so that no wires may seem visible. The device is powered by a 3V button cell.
The code on the Lilypad maps the bending of fingers to different frequencies which produce different tones on the buzzer. A Pushbutton is provided for playing preloaded tunes.
The project aims to make music production as portable as it seems, while keeping the feel of the music intact . Its uses are found in various avenues. It can be used to simulate interest in music , for amateurs and beginners already pursuing music , for hobbyists who just find it fun and even professionals.
A short practice with the tones and you are all set to make music.
​
​
We decided to make our glove in two layers , the first being one on which the circuitry will be mounted and then another for aesthetic pleasure.
Former would offer maximum flexibility for flex sensors , and the latter will encapsulate the circuitary .
​
The Gloves
Using the flex sensors , we detect movement in the place.
​
We mounted these on top of our first glove
​

​
​
​
​
The FlexSensors
Using the versatile buzzer/speakers of the Arduino, we mapped particular actions to sounds .
​
The Speakers
Using Soldering,we were able to make a product with least circuitry possible.
​
Integrating the circuit
We used the Arduino for wearables : LilyPad
It offeres almost all the features of Arduino Uno and is easy to integrate with wearables.

The Brain of the project
Using the LilyPad's compatibility with the Arduino commands and debugging the various parts of code simultaneously , this is what we came up with.

The Code
The Stakeholders
People whom we targeted with this project
Musical Students(Beginners and Amateurs) getting a feel for music and practicing it with variation in tones)
Casual Hobbyists : For People who are in it for the fun of it.
Instructions for usage
Steps involved :
-
Wear the glove and switch it on.
-
Keep your hands in a steady distance from an object with minimal obstructions in between.
-
Keep your hands steady in place , do not vibrate your hands while flexing fingers.
-
Flex the fingers one by one at different angles to observe the tones produced.
-
Now try playing a simple tune using the knowledge of tones you just gained.
-
Want motivation? Listen to inbuilt tunes by pressing the push button.
-
Finally , enjoy the tunes, and don't forget to disconnect the battery once done.
