Gloves which transform hand gestures into music by using sensors will soon be available to the public. Scientists have been working for ten years to develop the Mi.Mu gloves which translate movements of the hand into complex music compositions. The project is the brainchild of Grammy-award winning artist Imogen Heap, who spearheaded the project along with a team of tech specialists and textile designers. Wearers can perform drum beats with the beat of a fist or the flick of a wrist along with vocal fades and whole string ensembles. Only a handful of specially selected musicians have had access to the technology until now including pop star Ariana Grande, who performed wearing the gloves on her 2015 world tour.
