Amusity - Musical Coffee Table - Interaction Design

Amusity is a interactive tangible user interface coffee table, that displays your entire music collection. Amusity allows you to play, watch the music video and see additional information about each song. In addition meta data such as popularity and genre control the way the music is displayed - popular songs in the center, rare songs in the outskirts. In addition activating a certain song will display recommended songs based on past play lists

you're the fire starter, twisted fire starter.

do you want people interacting with the table, or with the other people in the room? how does it connect people, aside from the obvious? it would be the focal point. it should be almost not noticable IMO.

also what about having the image/video projected onto the wall, or able to be interchangable to images like trees, or background colours...fractals etc.

i have to say Surface is much more better.but it just an experiment of a U lab, still a good try!

If it is stuck to wall, it would be more usefull and less accedent absorvative and more people would think to buy it, specially people with (scary) KIDS! =)

So if you just wanna listen to music - you need to sit there and play with table to find the song you want? SHIT!

Controls are very retarded. Also why video is played separated from sound? It's stupid to put MUSIC and VIDEO objects on one bubble to play video with sound. It means this table not only difficult to control, it is difficult to watch videos on it. And I bet it costs more than sound system or PC.

Похоже на Reactable Table. Но ближе к конечному потребителю, конечно.
