The theremin is an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact. It consists of two antennas that detect the musician's relative hand positions in its xy-axis space to determine frequency and amplitude of sound. Though often associated with eerie soundtracks, I personally have always found this quite the intriguing instrument - both in a sound and technology capacity.

This project aims to create a flight simulator experience in which the user controls the plane as one would play a theremin, based on relative cursor or gesture positioning within an axis-defined space, complete with dynamic audio feedback to indicate changes in roll, pitch, and yaw.

The goal was to create an interface that could - given the correct hardware - be implemented using a real theremin.
