Renowned musician Imogen Heap, who is speaking at Design Indaba 2016, developed the Mi.Mu gloves to gesturally interact with her computer to make music on the go.

With performance playing an integral part in Imogen’s shows, these gloves allow her to create music and interact with her audience simultaneously.

“They’re really exciting and we really feel that they are going to change the way that we make music,” she explains in the video, created by Dezeen and Mini Frontiers.
