A camera-based music-learning application that turns Curwen hand signs into sung-scale degrees and playable instrument notes.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

The prototype maps movable-do Curwen signs to sound rather than asking learners to type or play notes. Apple Vision tracks twenty-one joint locations per visible hand, while the classifier uses pose geometry, motion, confidence, and agreement across frames to infer intent. The current macOS build recognizes one or two hands, uses hand height for octave changes, and records recognition decisions with the video so missed notes can be traced to particular frames.
