Well, it was very expensive, you had to make a deposit, it’s super heavy, and i don’t even know if it really worked !!! I know Bjork put a reactable on stage but i don’t know if she or her musicians were really using it … maybe someone can tell us about this project, at the time, i was not very sure of what to expect … don’t take me wrong but it makes me feel like i have a big blue round table with an ipad app in front of me
Maybe not mentioned because of its age.
I finally got to try a Reactable at Discovery World in Milwaukee - lots of fun.
It was only expensive if you asked someone to make one for you. But the inventors provided the software for free, as well as instructions on how to build your own, using readily available materials. From what I recall, it did not look hard to build. The hardest work might be to cut the acrylic pieces. Most expensive component was probably the projector, which again could be any off the shelf computer projector.

That should be possible
Many works have video documentation that is accessible through this page: https://instrumentinventors.org/works/

You don t have to buy it. The software framework is freely available. Add your own camera, beamer, etc. I ve seen it work in student projects.

I saw Björk perform at Werchter festival after Volta album (I believe it was in 2007). The reactable was definitely put in good use and we could watch from above what was done… Great moments
