The Reactable. Swell, futuristic synthesizer. Starts getting cool at about 1:20 in. Details: “The instrument is based on a translucent and luminous round table, and by putting these pucks on the Reactable surface, by turning them and connecting them to each other, performers can combine different elements like synthesizers, effects, sample loops or control elements in order to create a unique and flexible composition.” [thx JG]

Bjork’s band had one of these on stage for their tour of 2007.

yeah, welcome to about 2006. It never really caught on for performances but definitely showed what sort of thing was possible for future interactive surfaces
