Ableton Live Checkers Step Sequencer by Josh Silverman

This uses computer vision to break up the checkers grid into step sequence notes that are then routed to Ableton Live. Uses OF for the vision. What I like about this project is the physical interaction with digital music, even more so than a monome or other physical controller. Combining gaming (although video uses it more like a midi controller), physical, digital, and sound. I would be interested in sounds coming out of an actual game of checkers. Game theory.
