Wow, this is really, really amazing. It’s a touch sensitive glowing video musical instrument / programming language. You use tangible objects to control synths, control values, pulses, and more. I don’t even know how the table recognizes which object is where, what rotation, and what orientation it’s in. You can rotate to control frequency or other control values, and slide your finger around an object to control amplitude. The interface is intuitive, slick and pretty–even without sound it would be cool to look at / play with. But the circular volume sliders, links between objects that display the sound file, and ripples and beams are very impressive. I definitely would love to play with this!

holy interfaces, that’s cool! it think it’s possibly even cooler than Jef Han’s multitouch computer.
