There are a bunch of fun examples on Twitter of things people are doing with Chimera:

I could see this being very useful in a number of applications.

Being trans, of course voice affirmation training.

Then singing comes to mind, followed by language learning.

A solid visual demo like this would help give people more than "okay now more like the a in aunt"

There was a post to a tweet about this but I also found there's a GitHub repo for the software and this link to it running!

I guess this is like a modern version of pink trombone - https://dood.al/pinktrombone/

Also is the name a Teto reference?

I learned to throat sing to put my baby to sleep. I'm having fun trying to figure out what all the shapes of the different mouth/throat components I make to get the same sound in the synth.

That was very intriguing, I was able to tune the false vocal folds and adopt the proper anatomical positions and it did output a proper Khoomei overtone. I wasn't able to find the Kargyraa range, but I managed a decent Sygyt.

Damned impressive setup.

My work is done for the day. https://bsky.app/profile/stewleach.bsky.social/post/3mzts6gg...

This is weird and fun. Brings me back to one undergraduate class where we used the IPA a lot

Is it not supposed to work on phone? All I hear is noise and engine keeps loading beyond 100%

The eye blink concerns me ...

I love how creepy 3D view is.

Thanks, I hate it haha.
