Commissioned by The Leonard Bernstein Office and The GRAMMY Museum, in this interactive visitors are invited to “Be the conductor!” A Kinect camera and motion tracking allow the visitor to control the speed ( tempo ) and volume of a conductor leading an orchestra. In the initial release, visitors reprise Leonard Bernstein leading the Wiener Philharmoniker in Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67.
