Obviously they collaborate, but we never see the &#8220;energy&#8221; of the musician represented visually. Imagine if you could see the energy of the best guitarist and drummers in the world, see the emotional state of a singer-songwriter or a whole orchestra.    <\/p>\n<p>Thy-Band is a system of wireless wearable devices for musicians that can be used to visualize their energy and emotions during live performances.<\/p>\n<p>The first devices in the Thy-Band line are a wearable bracelet and an ear-piece for guitarists. The light-weight silicone bracelet is mounted on the back of the hand. It has a built-in accelerometer, that transfers motion data real-time via bluetooth. <\/p>\n<p>The ear-piece is a tiny heart-rate monitor also sending data via bluetooth. The style of the guitarist, the way he plays and feels will affect the data received from both devices, based on which a variety of visualisations can be created.<\/p>\n<p>Thy-Band can be used by all kinds of musicians from guitarists to violinists, from flautists to bassists. <\/p>\n<p>Future Thy-Band devices will include bracelets for drummers and pianists, breath-sensors for flutes, and other devices that will make it possible to visualize the energy of single musicians, bands and whole orchestras, specific to the instruments they use.<\/p>\n<p>The pictures and videos on my website don&#039;t do justice to the final version that I will finish in a few days.<\/p>\n<h3>Classes<\/h3>\n<p>Introduction to Physical Computing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tigran Paravyan Thy-Band is a set of wireless wearable devices for musicians that can be used to visualize their energy and emotions during live performances. http:\/\/itp.openthy.com\/pcomp\/2014\/12\/3\/thy-band-v10 Description Muisicians usually have VJ people who do the visualisations for them.
