My friend is finishing his degree in Graphic Design, and needed to do a portfolio. He saw the reactable I made a while back, and wanted to combine the idea of it with his portfolio. So, the interactive portfolio was born. Here is a link to a little explanation and video. We added more features since this video was shot, but it shows the basics.
The only limitations were due to the lack of IR lighting, not the program I made. (the IR bulb we ordered came as we were leaving for his portfolio presentation 😠 ) You can see the choppiness of the movement, that was the only real problem.
When I told people I used Synthmaker to make the interface, no one could believe it, they all thought I wrote it in C or something. They were impressed, so hopefully I got a couple people to take a look at it. 😀
Just thought you guys might like to see a rather unconventional use of the software, purely for use with graphics rather than audio.

i know i am a bit off topic but i´ve just seen the reactable software you made, looks very nice!
why haven´t i seen this before?
i´ll test it for sure right now, got all the selfmade reactable stuff (like the cubes and my "table") still here but i´ve never
done much with it because i have not really understood how to handle puredata. 😕
but now i am really exited in trying out your app. 🙂 too bad can´t see the video right now but i´ll have a look later.

Are you talking about the configuration file creator? If so, I'd love for someone to test it out other than me. It works great for me, but I know exactly how it works since I created it. I'd like to see if its as intuitive for people as I think it should be.
If you're talking about the interface software shown in that video, I never put that up for download, but I'd be happy to if you would like. Since it was sort of a special project for my designer friend, I didn't really think many others would have use for it. It could easily be adapted to other projects, though. Most of the gruntwork would be done, just add oscillators and whatnot in the correct places and boom, you'd have a real reactable.
Why use puredata rather than Synthmaker, considering you are such a heavy user of SM? Are you wanting to use OSC or something?
