just like the han stuff, this one isnt that insane to implement on your own . all you really need is a camera and some max/programming chops.

that's right! Jens from multi-touch.de brought the unit to MusikMesse this year. The app he designed for it is amazing, and all done in Processing, I think. I tried it - it's a hoot!

it is different. but it can be the same. it works in same way as the han controller, with a camera behind picking up information. only instead of just points of control, you have points+3d force vectors. in other words, every "pixel" can act as a pressure sensitive x/y controller on its own, so you could do really musical things like vibrato, as opposed to the simple on/off nature of the control points on the han (IR)/ lemur(capacitance) technologies. fun stuff.
