++ reacTable hands-on workshop
|
|
Martin Kaltenbrunner & Sergi Jordà
workshop held November 2006 at STEIM, Amsterdam, NL
|
| + objective |
|
During the first day of the workshop we will introduce the concepts and history behind the reacTable,
and the participants will have the opportunity to learn how to play the instrument as well as how to set-up their own reacTable configuration and style.
The following two days the participants will have the opportunity to design their own tangible music table similar to the reacTable,
using the reacTIVision framework, a flexible table-top TUI environment based on computer vision.
The workshop will provide an overview on tangible musical interfaces in general, introduce the reacTIVision framework and the related programming environments,
as well as instruct how to build the necessary table hardware.
The workshop participants should have some programming knowledge in at least one of the following environments: Processing, Pure
Data, Max/MSP, Java or C/C++. We are providing frameworks for each of this environments and the participants can choose which most suits their needs.
Macintosh workstations and webcams are provided at STEIM, but participants can also bring their own laptops and cameras.
