A WebGL Theremin Replaces Hardware Knobs with In-Browser Computer Vision

By piping webcam frames directly into MediaPipe hands, the project removes traditional hardware barriers to gestural music synthesis while introducing the latencies inherent to browser-based video processing. It highlights a rare return to playful, single-purpose web experiments, though relying on fragile client-side vision models highlights how modern software trades deterministic controls for novel interfaces.
