Music Is Reactable

So I was browsing the nets one day looking for new mixtapes to add to my collection and came across this amazing new piece of technology. It is called the "Reactable" and what it does is amazing. Here is a quick break down on the technology and function of the product.
The Reactable hardware and software delivers a robust object and finger tracking platform for the creation of tangible multi-touch interactive surfaces. The platform is based on computer vision using high quality industrial cameras which can track numerous tagged objects and finger touches on the interactive table surface. This surface is made of a specially engineered acrylic material, where the visual feedback is displayed using a short-throw projector inside the table. The full system is completely self-contained and only needs a single external 110/220V power-supply.

So pretty much this is the coolest thing ever and I can't wait to see what people will do with this thing, maybe someday I will see a live mash-up performed on one Reactable.

Also other cool music tech stuff out right now is the Major Laser app for iPhone.
