Interactive Playground

Explore interactive displays and demonstrations on the Institute’s Herzstein Plaza. Discover convergent technologies, augmented instruments, touch sensitive interfaces, robots, circuit DIY, and transmedia and after Saturday’s concert, an after party featuring David DeMaris aka Dr. Strangevibe.

Throughout the event visitors will be able to interact and test a wide range of music making, creating, recording, and control. With lower priced software creating major impact on the creation of music, we now see gesture-based computing opening the door further with a new breed of applications available, even on mainstream devices such as the iPhone and Wii.
