The Body Motion Music Machine

Using a high-quality digital video camera and sophisticated motion tracking software, this complete instant music system translates dance movements into digitized music and colorful synchronized on-screen animation, with technology similar to that which Hollywood special effects technicians use for animated films. Built into a colorful piano-designed stand, the camera tracks body motion in real time, converting each arm wave, leg kick, and head bob into notes and chords with over 100 simulated instruments, teaching rhythm, tempo, and music appreciation to even the youngest concert novice. Includes a camera, software package, and helpful user's guide. Requires Windows ME, 2000, XP, or higher, a 3D-graphics card, and DirectX compatible sound card. Ages three and up. 10" H x 3" W x 1/4" D. (1 lb.)
