Reactable = more interactive interface goodness
Interactive surfaces/tabletops are just fascinating. Who wouldn't want to able to compose music, alter filters and just PLAY with this stuff? It's a really exciting face of the future of music and it reeks cool. I wonder how long it will take for something like this to actually make it as a affordable & relatively easy home solution? Whether as a diy kitform or as a retail product. To the matter at hand. It's more designed open source framework for the development of more tangible user interfaces, here's what the reactable team have to say:
reacTIVision is an open source, cross-platform computer vision framework for the fast and robust tracking of fiducial markers in a real-time video stream. It was mainly designed as a toolkit for the rapid development of table-based tangible user interfaces
This video covers the basics of how Reactable works. The way the actual interaction works is really appealing too. Simple iconic items, with really well thought out & simple interface for each object. Changing samples is as simple as rotating the real world item with the sounds attached.

There is more video to be had after the jump.
This video goes into more depth....
And this just plain old fashioned, kicks ass. It quite possibly takes names too.
