If I try and describe the Reactable to you, it's all going to sound like technical garb. This is one of those things that you need to see to believe and understand. The makers call it a collaborative electronic music instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface. Several simultaneous performers share complete control over the instrument by moving and rotating physical objects on a luminous round table surface. By moving and relating these objects, representing components of a classic modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sonic topologies, with generators, filters and modulators, in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language.
Confused? So was I…till I saw these two videos and understood the whole concept.
