This is a preview of Seth Sandler’s Audiotouch, a $200 DIY multitouch music table:

Last weekend my multitouch table and Audiotouch software were on display at UCSD’s Music Center Openening. The turnout was good and it was great meeting the enthusiastic crowd that took the time to try out the table.

The majority really liked the simplicity of the new Bloom application that acts as a screen-saver type application when no other application is loaded. The kids really liked the ‘Wall Pong’ game and it was fascinating watching them take part in the interaction.

The Audiotouch takes the idea of virtual instruments to a new level, doesn’t it?

AudioTouch is an interactive multi-touch interface for computer music exploration and collaboration developed by Seth Sandler, an undergraduate student at the University of California, San Diego.
The interface features audio based applications that make use of multiple users and simultaneous touch inputs on a single multi-touch screen.
A natural user interface where users can interact through gestures and movements, while directly manipulating musical objects, is a key aspect of the design; the goal is to be able to interact with the technology (specifically music based) in a natural way. Users can load, exit, and move musical applications using gestures as well as have a multiple applications operate within the same work environment.
The design is built into a table that hides all the hardware necessary for tracking multiple inputs as well as displaying visual feedback on the touch surface.

Can’t afford a JazzMutant Lemur? Check out this video on making a MacGyver-style multitouch pad.

Building a small portable multitouch pad will allow you to test software and experiment on a smaller scale while building your full table or when away from your multitouch screen. This uses Front Diffused Illumination, with normal ambient light (infrared not required or needed) and a normal off-the-shelf webcam (IR filter can still be in place).

      something to think about

      The reason no record label knows how to market anything to new media is they don’t live there. They don’t get it because they don’t use it. — Trent Reznor
