A Prototype system for DJs. I modelled a DJ mixer in Blender, then, using MIDI from the same DJ mixer, created a digital twin of the exact state of each control. I used a Leapmotion mounted over the mixer to track the DJ’s hands, then and rendered a 3D version over the 3D mixer. The combination ends up with a convincing 3D version of what the DJ is doing in real time.

This is all then rendered within a digital environment I created where some of my realtime 3D audio and beat reactive visuals can float in the background, using the same lighting. Also shown is a simple kinect pointcloud setup which renders the full body of the performer within this same engine. The DJ can easily control the visuals while performing by switching VJ-style using a Midi fighter 3D.
