A continuation of the invisible instruments project.
Using an Ipod Touch as the fretboard and the WiiMote as the pick, an invisible guitar was born. Gives a bit more meaning to 'air guitar', eh?
The project in general is aiming for a more portable music experience. The ultimate goal is to be able to create dynamic, high-level music with small devices based on practiced existing instruments (so that anyone can potentially play) and output midi data.

ipodt.maxpat - MaxPatch (only includes the guitar patch and the existing TouchOSC patch
presets.oscd - OSCulator presets.
The patch is largely unfinished, as the algorithm used to sense guitar strumming is extremely simple. You can continue following the project here.
