No, it's simply position tracking. We're not using datagloves here, just pinch gloves with trackers on the back. Moving your hands in and out means physically translating your hands toward or away from your body, as if to move the fingers over the correct row of a (very large) keyboard. > Have you tryed to implement sutch a system in an assymetric way > (guitar player > style)?

We haven't tried that, but my student is quite interested in such an implementation. We'll share with the list anything we come up with. --Doug -- Doug A.
