I wonder what kind of blocks the reactable uses. Anyone find some useful tangible blocks that are a bit better then the wooden blocks?

[...] CDM points out this interesting demo of a tangible tracking system using Trackmate software – Trackmate is an open source initiative to create an inexpensive, do-it-yourself tangible tracking system. The Trackmate Tracker allows any computer to recognize tagged objects and their corresponding position, rotation, and color information when placed on a surface. Trackmate sends all object data via LusidOSC (a protocol layer for unique spatial input devices), allowing any LusidOSC-based application to work with the system. [...]

@ machines

so you’ve downloaded processing, the lusidosc processing bundle, and the lusidosc simulator

1. run the simulator
2. run LusidOSC_BasicApp.pde from the lusidosc processing library. This should launch a processing app. click the little play button at the top. A new window should open up – now if you go back to the simulator and drag some objects onto the “screen” the lusidosc_basicapp should respond. Now you know it’s working.
3. quit LusidOSC_BasicApp.pde and open LusidOSC_Sequencer.pde – now the simulator will send info to the sequencer. in the sequencer, click on any of the objects to set up their sequences.

I have a love/hate relationship with posts like these. I love the material being covered. But I hate it at the same time because it makes me feel stupid. I grabbed all the packages, have no clue how to do anything with them.

Perhaps a little step by step of what you went through, Bill Van Loo? You know, for dummies…lol.

I you have a closer look at the provided “alternatives” you will find that this kind of DIY environment is exactly what the reactable software toolkit and some other tools from the NUI community already have been offering for many years. All this is open source software that has been used for many musical or other tangible projects.
Go to youtube and look for “reactivision”
