    BodyMouth

    About BodyMouth is a virtual instrument that produces body position-reactive speech in real-time. Precise position and orientation data streamed from a series of VR body trackers worn by one or more performers is mapped to a series of adjustable speech parameters such as tongue position, air flow intensity and vocal cord tension.

Rounder objects result in smoother timbres while objects with sharp…
