DJs waving hands in the air.

Popular djay Pro AI app developed by Algoriddim is getting a major update today for its iPad version. As briefly shown during Apple’s September event, the app now has a new hand gestures tracking system that lets users mix songs without even touching the device screen.

A new algorithm uses artificial intelligence to identify different hand gestures using the device’s front camera. djay Pro AI maps and detects these captured gestures in 3D, then the app turns them into commands to manipulate music.

Users can choose from a set of intuitive hand gestures to scratch, create loops in perfect sync with the beat, and apply filters and effects simultaneously; or simply lean back and perform a clap gesture which triggers an automatic transition from one song to the next.

According to Algoriddim, the technology behind djay Pro AI hand gesture recognition has become possible thanks to the Neural Engine of Apple’s custom chips. Apple demonstrated this new feature of djay Pro AI while showing the capabilities of the A14 Bionic chip and iPadOS 14 on iPad Air 4. Hand gesture recognition also works on iPad Pro models with the A12X and A12Z chips.
