If "motion capture" can be used to generate ever increasingly accurate digital images....then this is probably a piece of cake.

I did not have access to audio, but I see the little robot conduct in three and the printed music superimposed on the screen for a moment is in four.
Stupid machines.

His downbeat is a heck of a lot clearer than 99% of the conductors I've played for!

He was "programmed" to conduct like Charles Dutoit. I don't think it worked right...
Also, I recall reading a news article that said the robot was rigid with it's programming. This resulted in train wrecks in some of the rehearsals, as the machine lacks the ability to "go with the flow" of the ensemble like an excellent human conductor.
However, he could probably conduct ceremonies for military bands. Usually we barely looked at the conductor for those. We just need to get him in some fatigues, combat boots and a beret and we'd be set!

Looks like not much more than an over-priced metronome.
