On: Show HN: Theremin I/O

[rwinn]

We are working on a video! We have one but we felt that it didn't show how cool the app actually is :)

I'll link it here if you would care to give us some feedback on it.

That is a well produced video, and while I doubt any video can adequately convey the experience of using something like this, it comes near to the mark as makes no matter. Two unfiltered reactions: discretised theremins are missing the point of a theremin, and defocusing to avoid device frame rate issues isn’t worth it—just simulate screen images.

Yeah, this needs a "fretless" version. It's interesting how the discretised version sounds much less creepy, though.
