[WitchTheWicked]

the guy on the right is just fcking around

[djpichon7]

money you spend on this shit goes to the trash :P

[cerupcat]

@djpichon7 Actually, it's gone in my pocket. ;)

[robe3d]

Very nice! keep up good work!

[harikiang]

noo this is awesome if you have done this thing by your self :) good luck

[JudoSpank]

Why have I not seen or heard of this until now?! Brilliant.

[moreausylvain]

do music or video games but omg stop this crap !

[cerupcat]

@moreausylvain thanks!

[thelilhacker]

THAT SOUND IS SO ANNOYING

[cerupcat]

@thelilhacker thanks for being positive.

[kittycatdancemaniac]

wow O.o

[duchovny007]

Just a Fake Copy of the Reactable from Espain, Losers Fakers

[cerupcat]

@duchovny007 Actually this is real and nothing like the reactable. The reactable uses markers and has a completely different usage, interface, and style. The purpose of this is completely different and has unique applications nothing like the reactable. It's definitely real and you can download the applications for free on my website. ;)

[HitaroX]

your gf is hot

[MegaWassup123]

were did you get this thing its cool

[RMimz]

you can make this yourself by making a large scale version of his simple multi touch pad that he made and hooking up a projector to it... the only thing is is that it would overheat very quickly

[tobby2468]

do you have build this ?

[mtdew123456789]

Can't read?

[cudrlo]

Wow... OK... I have alrready downloaded the "How To" guide... Gradually try to do one for me ... Thanks :>

[Eudoringo]

This is the Microsoft Windows version of the reactable, in other words it sucks big time. Good for other applications though, not music.

[cerupcat]

Actually, this is self built (by me) multitouch table. It's not related to Microsoft Windows or Microsoft surface. It also is not trying to be a reactable since it doesn't use tangible objects and has completely different use cases and applications.

[youtubpunk]

good job C++ and C# right

[cerupcat]

c++ for tracking fingers. AS3/flex builder for the applications.

[stahooo76]

@cerupcat Yeah, for pong is maybe cool, but music... Sorry i don't wanna be rude, but it has no rhythm... I don't think anyone want to make a music through this app. Guess you want to make something like reacTable? You have to catch up!

[cerupcat]

@stahooo76 No, this is nothing like reactable. It's not meant to make live music nor does it use tangibles or have a interface like the reactable. This also has several applications unlike the reactable which is a single 'instrument'. This is NOT an instrument. It's meant for music exporation - not performance.

Not trying to be them - they are great the way they are. :)

[jaddieboi]

@Eudoringo Go away plz, go play with a mac lol.

@cerupcat You say you coded this? Would you have the code for it / the code in c# ?

[Wingert91]

is this what daft punk uses

[cerupcat]

Nope, but that'd be nice ;)

[Poppysox56]

Definitely approach a primary school to try out this with a group of children I am sure you would get a good reaction from staff and the kids would love it.

as I said I think it has possibilities for children with disabilities.

[morq13]

I Think i build one of this, but i wont start befor novembre or december.

I just read a few things about how it works, whath did u use for the Display? and how many webcams did u use?

[Poppysox56]

You could arrange a visit to meet someone at a primary school, probably the music co ordinator, and ask what they think.

I don't know much about the machine,but for small children i would say the value is getting a direct response from the hands. Keyboards and mice are fiddly for small hands and the programmes they use are limited and proscribed by others. It seems that whatever a childs hands did would transfer directly to what they saw and that's a lot of power and control for a small mind!

[ShapeshifterMusic]

I would like to see this used in education. Children would learn a lot more if they had something as interactive as this in the classroom, as a child I would have been extremely excited if my teacher presented something as amazing as this.

[Poppysox56]

I am a Primary teacher and I would love to use this with children as it's bigger scale and more interactive and instinctive to use than a mouse and keyboard for really little ones.

[cerupcat]

I have a big interest in education, i'd love to hear how you think this would fit into primary education.

[Poppysox56]

Fantastic, amazing! Well done Seth, I have sent this link to my son who composes electronic music in Manchester. he is in a band called circastate. I know he will have to have this!

[cerupcat]

Thanks! Let me know what he thinks :)

[Fl00xX]

This is awesome !

[evilpacker]

This + LSD = heaven

[kevdiv1974]

fake !!

[Blaster7492]

its called windows surface you dumbass...

[cerupcat]

actually this isn't windows surface. I built this one myself.

[Blaster7492]

what? no way! how did you do that???

[cerupcat]

you can go to my blog, and/or nuigroup(dot)com to find out how :) -seth

[willpreeview]

microsoft surface actually mate

[cerupcat]

no, I built this one. This isn't Microsoft surface.

[Blaster7492]

nah guy says its home made... I believed him after i visited his website...

[ktstrayer]

Can you please give me the exact page that has the instructions on how to build this? Please?

[NotEvenSmoozed]

This performance is an Avant-garde masterpiece.

Cheers!

P.S. Google "Modestburns", I dare ya.

[juda67000]

strange....-_-

[GeneralChurch]

that's the Microsoft Surface  its cool technology and easy to program.

[TheSakeOfGod]

ROFL interesting but you can tell the touch screen isn't responsive it's having shitty ass problems like not registering nearly enough of the touches.

[thekingdeeps]

like it! saw something the other day that was quite similar called

DOMINOTES

[JavaScriptNoob]

Boring.

Why do they stick to touch screens?

It always have some problems...

[enemyindisguise]

right !

its a "new" Toy !

diese geräte liefern probleme die wir ohne sie nicht hätten.

b.t.w. the Sound ???

[dodgydogman]

A £3000 toy that you will get bored with in 5 minutes...

[dodgydogman]

Ignore that, didnt realise he made it :) thought it was the ms surface!

[DarkminiStoned]

wtf are you talking about man. Take 2 or 3 gram of mushroom and you'll be on that shit for more then 4h in a raw. Belive me this thing is AWESOME !!! i want that

[dodgydogman]

This comment is like 4 months old. Why did you comment on it?

[DarkminiStoned]

whats your points ?

[ADSRmultimedia]

Being nice just doesn't mean being usable. While this is good for interface design ideas and explorations, creating anything than random/generative stuff would be exceptionally hard to accomplish.

Big hype factor, low real-world value. Unfortunately... Please work on the underlying methodology how we create music, becuase now this is only a huge attractive dining table and nothing more.

[cerupcat]

Thanks for the comment ADSRmultimedia.

Keep in mind, this is a demo video and thus shows the possibilities and features in a quick fashion only. As a prototype, of course it has room for improvement.

It's really about the audience and intention. This isn't intended to be an instrument and therefore isn't practical as one. But, it can be used for music education, collaboration, and music exploration etc in a real non-hype, non-dinning table fashion as people that have used it have mentioned/ :)

[zampanomusic]

I realize that that comment was left a long time ago, I just found these videos.

ADSRmultimedia I think you're being a little harsh on it. Look at tools such as the Jazzmutant Lemur, and the Reactable. While they aren't per say instruments, they /can/ be used as such, which I feel applies to this as well. Even if one weren't to use it /as/ and instrument, it could still carry out the functions that the Lemur does: midi controlling and audio shaping.

[zampanomusic]

And furthermore, regardless of what the "tool" is and isn't capable, it has a niche. I for one would LOVE to have this in my live setup, alongside my monome, my lemur, my stribe and my machine-collective modules. Such things can be taken advantage of in countless ways. I could see this being used during one of our instrumental songs or as a midi-controller like the lemur is. You can't be so quick to come to conclusions about the "tool", this is only a prototype, and it will find its niche.

[MxHybe]

my gods, i didnot saw the keyboard... well done !

[MxHybe]

looks good but what is the principle ?... any logic ?

[accountmaniac]

FUCKING BADASS! HOW MUCH DOES IT COST! XD

i soooo want that now!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡⁄⁄⁄!!!

[cerupcat]

You can make one =)

Check out nuigroup(dot)com

[litl3star]

Woah @_@ Cant even imagine it..OMG AWESOME! i love it - when is it coming out?

[jo5erock]

Hey but I'm a freak I just have to hands? what can I do to get the extra hands? lol.

[tonywhite2259]

Looks hard to control, like when you were trying to resize the applications...

[adityat90]

not such a thing.

Something that can be made so easily and yet look sooo amazing and userr interactive.

love it gonna make mah own coffee table

[adityat90]

microsoft is hiring

just a joke

MS thinks we will pay 10000$ for such a thing

[rinneganeyes]

that's really cool

hard to make or get, sorry for my ignorance

[cerupcat]

It's definitely makable with a little time. Not incredibly hard =) You can find information on how to make one at nuigroup(dot)com

[plaguereno]

nice

[tomfahrer]

I feel like I just came back from time travel hundred of years ago. This is, I guess, what my favorite and most admired composers like John Cage must have dreamed of.

[vitravlos]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!...

[alyxiaffxi]

omg that is amazing
