An Accessible Digital Musical Instrument for playing chords.

Please refer to the Netychords page on Nicola Davanzo's personal website for more informations, instrument description and usage guide.

• A computer equipped with a Windows operating system
• Any sensor capable of moving the mouse cursor, which will be used for chord selection and to navigate the interface
  • (Suggested) an eye tracker, with some proper software
  • (Suggested) an eye tracker, with a NITH wrapper software
• (Optional but suggested) any of these NITH sensors, which will control strumming intensity and dynamics
  • NITHheadTracker - which provides the original interaction method for which Netychords was thought for
  • NITHbreathSensor
  • NITHbiteSensor

If you don't possess any of these sensors you will still be able to try Netychords using your mouse, and play using the spacebar.
