Multi-person synth: Reactable

Just discovered an awesome instrument...

Talking about high tech...this is what you need...

The reactable, is a multi-user electronic music instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface. Several simultaneous performers share complete control over the instrument by moving physical objects on a luminous table surface.

By moving and relating these objects, representing components of a classic modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sonic topologies, with generators, filters and modulators, in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language.

Even if you don't have a clue what this text above is all about...look at the video. Impressive piece of engineering!
