Tangible Kabuki at GeekCon 2007
This was Feng-GUI GeekCon2007 project. Thanks to:
Project members: Rafael Mizrahi, Dani Vardi, Tal Yaniv and Eyal "Person" Shachar.
Performers: Dror Gill, Ayelet Yagil, Zvi Devir and Jeff Pulver.
Photographers: Yaniv Golan and Alex Sirota.
1. The TangibLaptop is a collaborative electronic music instrument with a laptop tangible multi-touch interface built by the GarageGeeks (Rafael Mizrahi, Ohad Pressman and Eyal "Person"). inspired by the reactable http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReacTable
2. The GeekCon un-convention get-together is a creative gathering happening with a goal to form a critical mass of technically oriented creative talented people that will think up, create and deploy ideas. Or it’s a short summer camp for geeks… Take your pick.
1+2=3. Taking it one step further, instead of using physical small hand size objects, YOU will be the players in a musical part by wearing masks. Together, we create a musical part where you can take part by wearing fiducial masks detected by the Tangible laptop.
