sweet.

Nice! Are you going to be posting plans/designs anywhere? I'd love to hear more about the sensor circuitry.

Sweet

this is amazing! nice work are you in boston?

Now we just need some "pre-cogs" to complete the circle.

Whats the name of the last song in that vid?

Really nice!

Great stuff. I've been tracking various interfaces like the touch screen out of NYU and applications like Photosynth and posting them here tr.im/irCi and I posted this video link to the EIN Twitter feed at twitter.com/earthintelnet

very nice....

Love it. I can see tons of applications for it...

Good job...

Nice work, though I think it's not much different than the Fish project at the MIT Media Lab in 1995. Check it out:

Also, at Iowa State U we're working on Sparsh-UI, an open-source multitouch API that's hardware independent and can handle touch gestures but also zcam-based open-air gestures. See code.google.com/p/sparsh-ui/

i'd contact ted.com. they love things of this kind there.

great work!

So cool. Scale is an issue, but consider scaling up rather than down, and the space becomes suitable for dance and music on a theatrical level. I'm guessing there's an inverse square in there somewhere, so the fall off should permit multiple units and input for isolated performers. Take a look here for a possible venue:

empac.rpi.edu

Great stuff!

Incidentally there's a woman Katya Álvarez from Mexico here at a workshop 'Interactivos' in Lima, Peru using the same Theremin principle of electrostatics to drive a mechanical plotter with a magnet. This, in effect, results in a magic table for flying metallic objects around the surface.

Here's the workshop context: medialab-prado.es/article/taller_interactivos_lima09_magia_y_tecnologia_

Here's a live document about the project: wiki.medialab-prado.es/index.php/La_Fuerza_en_tus_Manos

I'll post a clip of it here soon..

NICE SPEAKERS i have 2 sets

Nice.. especially dj application.. it rocks.. a nice replacement for age old mouse and hopefully keyboard later..

remember the video of the song crazy frog..!! well.. hands would be the perfect replacement for gamepad.. or a steering handle.. :)

bloody well done

definitely go toward applications with 3D geometry. nobody is developing as much there in this area, from what I can find. awesome guys.

Luke, Mark, and Glenn,

Congratulations on your latest honor! This video link (via hackaday.com) made its way around Moto and we were all very proud. Keep doing original work and stop in to see us next time you're in SF.

Nice! Assuming a smaller delay I could definitely see this as a modelling tool. Or as a controller at a Bjork concert.

WOW. Absolutely AMAZING!

Thank you everyone for all the great feedback!

Very cool!

bomb speakers!

People always say if they could go back in time and invest in Microsoft, they would.

Well, I happen to think that this is the project we'll all wish we could go back in time to invest in.

Brilliant. The applications are endless. I want one. They will want one. They will want millions.

You sir, are going to be a rich man.

Just blogged this thrilling development. Students! Get a ROCK STAR NEGOTIATOR on your side and don't let the big guys rip you off. npirl.blogspot.com/2009/05/mobilize-your-personal-static.html

This interface really makes sense to me.
F**king awesome guys!

bits base, very nice to see you all doing this. also look for this of course youtube.com/watch?v=d5EzKtn2ARE&hl=nl
Samuel Hoffman playing the theremin. Is this the same principle or something else?

Great work!

Featured today at illusion.scene360.com

Love to see this in action on a coffee table to control the TV and zap to a new channel ;-). Great stuff guys.

respect!!!

Great work indeed guys, well done. This system applied to apps like Ableton Live, Traktor or MAX/MSP would change the way people are doing live acts.
You should contact people at MUTEK in Montreal.
I am sure they would thrilled to showcase something like this.

Can I build my own?

Excellent work! Will you drop it on the market? - i would definately use it! Let me know...

Amazing! more and smaller sensors will make it more accurate? or is it accurate enough? any health concerns these electric fields can introduce?
