Best list ever....

The 'Top 10 Strangest Music Devices' blog post above blew me away. Yes, most of the inventions on there are impractical and just for the sake or making it for the developer, however the Audiopad (#4) striked me as unique and profound. Audiopad, created by two MIT students, combines a computer based program with a projected table top movement based interface. It is the most physical way to control music, much like Tom Cruise controlled the computer with his hands in 'Minority Report'. Using antennas it coordinates the movement of 'pucks', the modules of the souds, microphone and effects. Each module is sensitive to others around it, and displays a rotating image on the table. My explaination of this does not do the Audiopad worthy, please watch the video below and visit the audiopad website.
