Design and implementation of Virtual Indonesian Musical Instrument (VIMi) application using Leap Motion Controller

Abstract

Unity Leap Motion SDK is a tool which can be an alternative way to control input and interact with computer without touching. In this research, we use leap motion controller to develop an application to learn Indonesian traditional musical instrument such as: angklung, saron, kenong and kendang. This application is named VIMi (Virtual Indonesian Musical Instrument). Leap Motion Controller itself uses motion capture to help user interact with computer. We implemented VIMi using leap motion, laptop and speaker. Leap motion was used to capture the user's motion, laptop for the view of Indonesian traditional musical instrument, and speaker for the output sound. This research aims to develop an interactive learning media and introduce Indonesian traditional musical instrument.
