About Gesture Synth

Gesture Synth is an independent browser music game that turns webcam-tracked hand gestures into chords, tone, filter, volume, and octave changes.

Music shaped by motion

The play experience uses your left hand to select scale degrees and your right hand to shape chord quality, octave, volume, and filter tone. Sound is generated with browser audio, so the camera gesture and the synth response remain part of the same live interaction.

Built for the browser

Hand landmarks are detected in the browser with MediaPipe Tasks Vision. The instrument uses the Web Audio API for synthesis and the MediaDevices API for camera access. Gesture Synth does not require an account, installation, or microphone permission.

Camera access begins only after you choose to start the game. See the full details in the Gesture Synth Privacy Policy.
