Reactable multitouch table / musical instrument goes into
production  This so-called Reactable built by some researchers
at Pompeu Fabra University has been making the rounds of trade
shows and other events for quite a while now, but it looks like
the group is now really getting their act together by forming a
company (Reactable Systems) and putting the device into
production. The table itself is not too dissimilar from some of
the other multitouch tables out there, but it takes a slightly
different tact by focusing primarily on the device's potential
as a musical instrument. To make things even simpler for the
users, the table makes use of a series of "pucks" that each
control a different aspect of the system, and are able to
interact with each other when they're in close proximity. No
word on a price or actual release date just yet, as you might
expect, but you can check it out in action in the video after
the break.  [Via MusicRadar]
