SenseTable - MIT Media Lab

[Daniel7LB]

I'm curious where the light comes from. If it's coming from above the platform, then I think it's very interesting how the device can accurately project the light on the 'right places' (if you will) on the platform. Other than that, it's pretty neat stuff. Also, I like how the sensetable forms 'strings' between the objects on the surface of the platform. (Specifically how complex the patterns of the strings can be). I've never studied that much programming but I'm guessing it took some effort.

i´m thinking Arduino, preocesing, videocam with tracking and a sound bank in a computer.. awesome work. cheers from k3 mah

MIT isn´t the best university.... there are much better ones, like UdelaR in Uruguay, ...

aguante la Facultad de Ingeniería!!!!

pasen por mis videos jaja see my videos!

Technology sucks. Give it up.

it's called ableton live and every kid can get it free with a $100 keyboard. this is what MIT thinks is cutting edge? oh, and i have been an electronic musician for 35 years.

Hi...check out Björk's new album. "This musical instrument" was used in the record.

MIT produce some amazing alumni ! My dad graduated from MIT in '69 and my sister in '02.

really similar to a virtual keyboard.. so that's awesome!

es muy interesante, es un diseño interactivo bien logrado pero se torna un poco burrido porque es manipulado por el ser humano, seria mas interesante que todo sucediera de la mano del azar. y la conexion con el sh, hombre, esta en su interpretacion como observador de dicho paisaje.

It's probably something akin to a smartboard with software outputting the lines to a suspended projector.

[fantamas2006]

I think this is not a table. this is a projector on the ceilling with the video which is reflecting images on the table, and that someone just moving hands on the table, pretends that he/she does it. he he he the light appears over his hands!!

[odrium]

Of course is a projector, but the table is sensible to movements, so it decide what is going to appear in the projector.

How far along in development is this? Anywhere approaching a commercial package?
