AirKords turns two small motion remotes into a guitar. One hand picks the chord, the other strums the air — and real recorded guitar strings ring out.
This is the real AirKords sound. Pick a chord, then drag across the strings: slowly for one string at a time, fast for a full strum. With the remotes, your hand in the air does the same thing.
Connect your two remotes and play — nine chords, three sounds, and an AI band that follows your beat.

AirKords is a working prototype that's still growing. Here's an honest look at where it is.
AirKords becomes two remotes: a fret remote with a touch slider for chords, and a strum remote for the strumming hand — just like a real guitar.
AirKords went in front of a live crowd for the first time, next to an amp at a tech meetup — strumming the air and hearing it through real speakers.
The first on-camera test: motion from the handheld controller driving a guitar on screen in real time, built on an ESP32 and a gyroscope sensor.
AirKords started life as AiroMote — a motion controller for games, music and workouts that reads movement from the device itself, not a camera. Guitar became the focus, and the name followed.

It started with a piano. He asked his father for one — and his father challenged him to build his own way to play music instead. AirKords is that challenge, still in progress.
