Computer Controlled Orchestra

Inspired by the animated music video Pipe Dream by Animusic, Intel Embedded Computing engineers teamed up with Austin-based Sisu to turn that animation into a real computerized paint ball orchestra. The Intel Industrial Control in Concert piece was unveiled at the Intel Developer Forum in September 2011. Built with seven Intel Atom processors, running three different operating systems, security camera system, sensors, touchscreen and other technologies, the project was completed in just 90 days at a cost of about $160,000.

@joshua87901 Pretty sure no other mainstream OS did, either. It's probably all proprietary.

cool

@J001ean Yes, that is true, but with hardware there needs to be software that operates and controls it. Pretty sure Mac OS X didn't control this.

@joshua87901 Some mac's have intels too. Just saying.

obviously this is very impressive... but in all honesty it doesn't sound very good because the sound of the balls shooting is so loud... actually kinda sounds like a mess... They should tweak it

Hmm, so machines are now advanced enough to play music…But does it know how to love?
