Magical Musical Wand

That’s right - a magic wand for playing music! I developed this project as my master’s thesis for NYU’s ITP program in 2020. The wand uses wireless technology and customized computer programming to enable one to perform music with a suite of physical gestures. This device was also show at the Liberty Science Center in 2019 as a part of their Engineering Everywhere exhibition.

I used the following technologies and softwares in the development of this project:

• Arduino

• MaxMSP

• Javascript

• Ableton Live

• Bluetooth Low Energy

• OSC/UDP Network Communication
