The reacTable is a thing of true beauty and tactility. Created by the Music Technology Group at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, its one of the coolest pieces of new tech I have ever seen.
They describe it as “a collaborative electronic music instrument with a tabletop tangible multi-touch interface”. You kind of have to watch the video to understand what this means, but the simple version goes like this: ‘fucking amazing’! Essentially it demystifies the production of sound, but apart from this invaluable educational aspect, its a truly interactive thing which just makes you want to play with it more and more. this is the golden aim of physical computing made real.
