Violin With Radar And Machine Learning

World's Tiniest Violin Uses Radar and Machine Learning (+Video)

Steven Dufresne | June 15, 2016

The folks at [Design I/O] have come up with a way for you to play the world’s tiniest violin by rubbing your fingers together and actually have it play a violin sound. For those who don’t know, when you want to express mock sympathy for someone’s complaints you can rub your thumb and index finger together and say “You hear that? It’s the world’s smallest violin and it’s playing just for you”, except that now they can actually hear the violin, while your gestures control the volume and playback.
[Design I/O] combined a few technologies to accomplish this.
