Inside Vision
Machine Vision Rocks

Musical instruments and machine vision are not often found in close proximity. Yet when Icelandic singer/performer Björk took the Reactable vision-based synthesizer on her recent Volta tour, her group created a melodic blend of electronic music and image processing.

A somewhat similar experience could have been had by any engineer visiting the Allied Vision Technologies booth at VISION 2007 in Stuttgart—where the instrument was available to budding pop stars.

As editor Andy Wilson writes in our cover story, the Reactable was developed by a research group at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain, and advances the electronic musical synthesizer fi rst demonstrated by Robert Moog in 1964. To “play” the instrument, a musician moves Plexiglas objects representing the elements of a classical modular synthesizer across a luminous tabletop, while a camera below continuously analyzes the surface, tracking the nature, position, and orientation of the objects so as to affect the sound. ...
