"Designed to create music in a collaborative way by means of a smart interface that can detect multiple touches of several users at a time."
Basically, it's your classic modular synth w/ a multi-touch interface, each object representing another component. And isn't it pretty?
The lovely looking round table's illuminated from beneath by an infrared light..
The reflection on the inner surface is captured by a camera..
Projected information (where you put your fingers and what you do w/ the little Twinkies) goes into separate spectral channels.. avoiding any inteference..
So.. when you place a "square wave" object on the table.. guess what? a squared wave is depicted between the object and the centre of the table w/ the exact properties of the wave the synth is generating in real time.. All very nice.
Change placement and orientation = modify the "behavioural" patterns..
Shiny dots that you can actually "catch" w/ your finger let you increase / decrease amplitude..
"Dynamically drawn" in real time, waves vibrate, pulses are transmitted from one place to another.. It's juice on the eyes.. If you like that sort of thing.
