Software als Instrument. Audiopad verfolgt die Position von Objekten mittels eines Motion-Tracking-Systems und übersetzt deren Bewegung in Steuerbefehle für eine Musiksoftware. Die Oberfläche wird so zu einer taktilen Programmierumgebung, in der Musik in Echtzeit komponiert und aufgeführt werden kann.

Developed at the MIT Media Lab
