Tangible Interface Vimeo Collection
Good collection of tangible user interfaces on Vimeo...
DataTiles
Just been writing up on the DataTiles in the background section of my thesis, and realised I'd never seen them in action. A quick search found this video. A very modular tangible interface with lots of possible design possibilities.
Laser Cave
Wow. Tangible interfaces need to be able to light up objects like this!
Video by Emmett Feldman / Suryummy.
Spotted on Create Digital Motion.
Tangible Tadpole
Although a simple musical instrument, this has a really interesting tangible method of shaping the sound. The 'Otamatone' is made by Maywa Denki. See the video for a thorough explanation!
Spotted on the Create Digital Music blog.
Paper and Pen Instrument
Nice video by Charlie North that combines some of the main elements of my PhD - Sketching, Interaction Design, Tangible Interfaces and Music. I particularly like the way that the scrunching up of the paper relates to the low-pass filter... would be great to see a fully functional version of this type of interface!

Metal Drone Instrument
Nice video on a very physical musical interface. We were aiming for this kind of thing when we designed the DAMPER (also known as the Edgetrimmer).

BeatBearing Outside ISEA
Short performance on the BeatBearing today in a container Outside ISEA, accompanying Robin Price's installation. Installation will run from 1pm-2pm. Performance will likely happen for about ten minutes towards the end.
Interesting temporal interaction
This seems an interesting way to manipulate temporal media, it would be great to see something like this implemented with a tangible interface. I imagine the result would be similar to the wobbly time-lines in Donnie Darko that show the future movement of people and objects... I guess.

Virtual Gravity
virtual gravity - the physical weight of data from Sillenet on Vimeo.
It's been over a month since the last post due to concentrating on the thesis write-up, so I thought I'd get back into the swing of things with a few quick posts. Here's an interesting project by Silke Hilsing that uses 'virtual gravity' to weigh two data sets. Would be great to see this system used in a musical context. [via Creative Applications]. More info can be seen on the project blog: http://www.silkehilsing.de/diplomblog/
Robin Price's "Journey Through a Burning Brain"
The video above documents Robin Price's "Journey Through a Burning Brain" installation, as shown at the TWO thousand + NINE symposium held in SARC last week. The simple exterior appearance of an old TV and oversized remote control hides a complex two-laptop system that harvests YouTube video's based around a keyword, before segmenting the videos and rearranging them with a Euclidean rhythm generator, finally spitting out the visuals through a Rutt Etra video synth. Using the remote, you can select different videos which in turn influences which videos are being downloaded in real-time during the installation. For more info visit the original post by Robin.
video of first BeatBearing MAKE project
This is the first video I've seen of a completed MAKEzine BeatBearing. Many thanks to 'awolfe63' for putting this up. Another BeatBearing build is being documented in this blog: http://jsavaglio.wordpress.com/.If anyone has any other BeatBearing videos (including unfinished projects) please send me the link!
Also, if anyone is looking for tips, or has some of their own to share, then please have a look in the forum: www.beatbearing.co.uk/make.html
