The reactable is a state-of-the-art multi-user electro-acoustic music instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface. Several simultaneous performers share complete control over the instrument by moving physical artefacts on the table surface and constructing different audio topologies in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language.
If that sounds like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, just check out the videos below:
Basic Demo #1
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.

At Ceatec tech fair Tokyo, Fujitsu showed the Turn Table PC, a strange hybrid of laptop, iPod styling and the turntable concept.
According to reports, it comes with virtual 5.1 channel surround sound and the top has a design which depicts a DJ’s turntable, which acts like a huge iPod click wheel. It also has dedicated MP3 player controls and a tiny display which displays the track information on the front flip so you control the music player without opening up the notebook.
