This thing is pretty damn sweet.
You use these blocks called tangibles on what they call a "tangible user interface" to create different sounds and effects. Apparently Bjork has used it a few times. They've even released an app version for your iDevices.
DJ using the reactable for some trance music.
There are also a few exhibitions around the country such as one at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, or Discovery World in Milwaukee.
Watching the videos is kind of confusing to me. I understand the basic concept of how the thing works and how each tangible interfaces with the board. Though they do have a tutorial on how it works on their website.
And don't forget you can own one today for only €9.700 or $13,679.91!

I must be getting old. I can respect the music, and the artistic expression, and the technology, but add it all together and I don't really get what's so great about it.
It's a multi-touch surface with blocks coded by shape that produce digital sound effects. Turning the blocks or nobs or widgets on the touch surface affect the pitch, volume, and tone of said effects. Is that about it?

Things I sometimes play...
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be a unicorn!"
"Awww, why's that?"........
"So I can stab people with my face."

I think someone watched way to many Sci-Fi movies and tried to make an alien interface.
That is the coolest thing I have ever seen in my entire life and OMGIWANTONE
