Actually, this is news you can use after you've had more brews than you can use:

> Three Finnish computer science students have devised a system which enables air guitarists to hear themselves 'play'. The Virtual Air Guitar project, developed at the Helsinki University of Technology, adds genuine electric guitar sounds to the air guitar.

> Using a computer to monitor the hand movements of the 'player', it adds riffs and licks to match frantic mid-air finger work, reports New Scientist. They came up with the idea after being invited to develop a virtual instrument as part of their coursework.

> "The first thing that came to mind was an air guitar," Kanerva told New Scientist. The resulting system consists of a video camera and a computer hooked up to an appropriately loud set of speakers. The player wears a pair of brightly coloured gloves, enabling computer vision software to keep track of their hands and detect different gestures.
