Hanok John Bennet V, a final-year engineering student at The National Institute of Engineering (NIE) in Mysuru, is bridging the gap between artificial intelligence and music. Hanok, also a professionally trained violinist, is developing innovative ways to use technology in music creation and appreciation.
His project, 'Musical Fingers,' employs AI and computer vision to track hand and finger movements. This technology converts gestures into musical notes in real time, allowing users to produce Indian classical or Western notes simply by flexing their fingers. The project also investigates applications for gesture-controlled instruments and assistive technologies.
Hanok's passion for music was nurtured from a young age by his parents, a guitarist and a vocalist. He has six years of professional musical experience, plays multiple instruments including the violin, guitar, and piano, and has performed with notable ensembles and artists. He envisions a future where technology and musical creativity are deeply intertwined.
