Just found a really interesting video link which was posted on another forum -

http://albinoblacksheep.com/video/multitouch

I like the liquid like one most but they have a really cool looking audio environment but theres music all the way through the video so you don't get to hear what it sounds like, but its definately interesting 🙂

Nobody interested in this type of thing then?

i am 🙂

i've seen this some months ago 😉

i'd really like to buy jazzmutant lemur anyway 🙂

😀 yeah jazzmutant lemur definately looks cool but IMO this is cooler, but im an art/design type guy just as much as audio

here's the homepage of that project. I've been following it for nearly a year as it grows.

it's good because it is quite simple, FTIR prety much uses any old projector a camera and a sheet of perspex. That means you could scale it up to huge proportions with only the cost of a new (huge) sheet of perspex.

IMO Lemur is overpriced bleeding-edge ware. Great if you have money to burn, but I'll wait a couple of years until this technology comes to market.

with small& light (& bad) 800*600 projectors at £200 now(!) and an 800*600 webcam going for around £50 it adds up to a much cheaper and more scalable system.
