Bioscopics builds instruments at the intersection of computer vision and sound — turning gesture into music, movement into meaning.
PALM is Pose Aware Live Midi. Hand gesture MIDI controller powered by computer vision. Turn your webcam into an expressive instrument — no hardware required.
Mouth-tracking MIDI controller powered by computer vision. CamVocoder extracts five mouth measurements (X height, Y width, Diagonal 1, Diagonal 2, and Circumference) and maps them to MIDI CC — hands-free expression for vocoder, talk box, and synths.
Bioscopics was founded on a simple provocation: what if your computer could see you perform — and translate that into music?
We build software instruments that use computer vision and machine learning to bridge the gap between physical gesture and digital sound. No wearables, no controllers, no barriers — just your hands and a camera.
Our first instrument, PALM, transforms any standard webcam into a full-featured MIDI controller with real-time hand tracking, 48 CC parameters, polyphonic keyboard, and MPE expression. Our newest, CamVocoder, tracks only your mouth — extracting five signals (X height, Y width, Diagonal 1, Diagonal 2, and Circumference) you can map to expressive vocoder and synth control.
Eliminate the cost barrier between intention and sound. Your body is the instrument.
Built from the ground up for camera input — not retrofitted from existing controller paradigms.
Real-time, low-latency, stage-ready. Creative tools should never get in the way.
Questions, partnerships, or feedback — we'd love to hear from you.
