Digital Thereminvox

Thereminvox(aka theremin, ætherphone/etherphone, thereminophone or termenvox) is a pure electronic musical instrument, which does not have nor strings, neither buttons. It reacts on thereminist hands positions.

Leon Theremin and his thereminvox

The instrument was invented by Russian electronics engineer and inventor Leon Theremin in 1920.

Here you may find a video where Leon demonstrates his instrument.

This project is written in memory of Leon Theremin, almost 100 years after his invention.

The project is a digital implementation of the same principle - contactless musical instrument.

Palms positions are detected by two VL53L1X sensors and then converted into sound.
