hey I made a new website and I wrote a bit about a weekend project playing with some of the @dynamicland ideas: https://mewo2.com/

@mewo2 @dynamicland This is very exciting.

I would like to make some of the interaction objects be more active, so it had outputs that were not just the projection. But I have no idea what that would be for.

@mewo2 @dynamicland Whiteboard Techno also wanted to be big. Something about the need to have physical space for hands and heads means that it needs to be kind of person-sized.

@mewo2 @dynamicland I don't think you could use back-projection and a back-camera so there is no way to build the works into a closed box.

@mewo2 @dynamicland It would make a great platform for a shared visual musical toy, of course, but maybe that is not the kind of use case you are thinking of.

@jarkman @dynamicland I definitely think more effectors (including audio) would be good - am a little concerned about latency, but there's only one way to find out if that's a problem! v1 was definitely mostly about getting a baseline that works, before I start messing around with bells, whistles, &c.

@mewo2 @dynamicland I hope you mean bells and whistles in a completely literal sense ?

@mewo2 @dynamicland Oh - also tangentially - could you make an actual modular synthesiser out of this, with VCOs and VCAs and so on?

@jarkman probably? tracking the patch cables (or equivalent) would be a fun little design problem - my first thought is that you'd use actual patch cables and then do some clever multiplexing to see what's connected to what. at that point I wonder if you'd be better off making an actual synth though

@mewo2 @jarkman this is reminding me of a project by my classmate Enrico Costanza back in 2003/4 https://www.dafx.de/paper-archive/2003/pdfs/dafx27.pdf
