lol i had to show you all this! maybe some of you have seen it before 🙂 its a tangible touch screen system 😀

while i think it is quite funky i also think its quite bonkers! imagine turning up at a gig and having to stick all the knobs on the screen! not that i would ever contemplate sticking anything to my beloved xps lappy! whats wrong with a midi control surface? what if they fell off and went rolling about the stage at some crucial point in the performance! lol

more info and a small video here http://girtonlabs.googlepages.com/sensesurface

🙂 that was the first thing that came to mind. Also ripping them off in the more passionate controlling.

You just need a 6.3mm bit and a hammer action drill, surely! LOL

?? how the knob can stick up at the display without going down the floor??

They use magnets, there's something behind the display too with hall effect sensors and stuff... 🙂

Respect to the developer though; she was the person who designed the early sound samplers for the ZX Spectrum and C64 back in the 80s arguably bringing sampling to the masses. Sounds like she was also involved in the first dedicated PC sound cards too.

Major respect.
