Adaptive Use Musical Instrument supported by DEEP LISTENING INSTITUTE is in beta but is offered for free from the website of the creator and works great. The software is intended to be used to play music by tracking, for example, an individuals nose with a webcam. The software allows individuals with limited mobility to express themselves through music by providing many types of interaction that allow it to track a facial feature and many other types of movement. The software at this time (May 28,09) is only for Mac computers but it is expected to be available for Windows at some point. These are videos of just a few of the interaction types. Note that the adaptation using the trapeze allows an individual who has better mobility when their arms are extended to have more control over the program. The coloured play dough helps the program to track the movement. See the next post for some ways to setup voice output to trigger with body or hand movement.
