The Blues Machine

What is it?

It's a musical instrument: a multitouch tangible guitar-like interface for 12-bar blues improvisation.

Tell me more.

Please read our SIGGRAPH 2009 submission paper, and take a look at this link.

Can I play it?

Yes. You'll need, firstly, a finger tracking capable table; you can learn how to build one here.
Secondly: a Macintosh computer running Mac OS X v10.5 (or latter) with Quartz Composer installed.
(Quartz Composer is part of the Xcode Tools package), and also our custom software.

Or alternatively you can download our iPhone App here .
