But:
(relatively) pricyclosed platformactually not tangible

Musical interfaces are a hard UI problem

(So is visualization.)

They’ve got a lot in common:
need to experiment,flow and intuitiveness...
so: speed matters!

Processing
• “an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions.”
• http://processing.org/
• (Based on Java.)
• By the way, that book’s really, really good.

I saw this on Roo Reynolds’ blog:

(He’s at http://rooreynolds.com/).

So, then:
“... a collaborative electronic music instrument with a
tabletop tangible multi-touch interface.”
How does it work?

“reacTIVision is an open source, cross-platform computer vision framework... designed as a toolkit for the rapid development of table-based tangible user interfaces (TUI) and multi-touch interactive surfaces.”
Oh, hello there.

So you can make a tangible user interface, which lets you search Pubchem for molecules, for the cost of a webcam.
(And some printing, I guess.)
That’s a result!
