Please let me introduce you to Reactable, a research project from Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. It's a translucent table with a camera and a projector underneath. The camera scans the positions of various blocks, which can be twisted and linked. Several simultaneous performers share complete control over the instrument by moving physical artefacts on the table surface and constructing different audio topologies in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language... The sounds - as implemented - are quite "experimental" but the design of the hardware is just incredible ! Just have a look at their web site and let me know !
