Reactable, a cool, light-up interactive demonstration
Reactable is a really cool demonstration. Blocks of different shapes/sizes have special symbols on them. A camera identifies the symbols and is able to produce cool results like, say, music. In Reactable there’s synthesizers, volume control, ‘pulses’, etc. The blocks all create lines to their nearest neighbor. There’s a dot in the center which receives the sound. The blocks are activated by ‘pulses’ from other blocks. The last block in the chain always generates pulses.
There’s raday, which does a sweep that sequentially activates blocks. There’s ones that can go through a sequence and create music. There’s surround sound, cool schematic-like lights, finger-sensitive control; what more could you want?
The software is free for download, though there’s no real tutorial on how to get it set up. Heck, the software for the full-blown versions in the videos aren’t there either. However, it’s going to come out soon. Click here for their homepage. Check after the break for the video.
