Soundbeam
A touchless digital musical instrument that uses ultrasonic sensors to detect movement in space and convert it into sound. Soundbeam allows users to create music through body movements, gestures, or the movement of any object, without requiring physical contact with the instrument. It is particularly valuable in accessible music education and music therapy settings because it can be adapted to the movement capabilities of individuals with severe physical disabilities, enabling musical participation for people who cannot use traditional instruments.
