Lazy Guy is an interactive music system for composition and performance. Using a webcam, Lazy Guy tracks a color chosen by the user by mouse-clicking on the first window. This color is then tracked and visually displayed in the second window. The orientation of the tracked color will determine the pitch and velocity of a MIDI tone generator much like a Theremin. Lazy Guy differs from a Theremin in that the user may select from a bank of tones to play enabling Lazy Guy to perform in various keys on the fly. Lazy Guy is best performed with a laser pointer (hence the name "lazy [laser]" Guy) color to be tracked.

Hardware:

- A webcam such as a Logitech or built-in iSight (iMac, etc.) camera.
