Slick user interface, runs Xubuntu

I saw this awesome video on CurrentTV this morning. Not that I follow the experimental musical instrument scene, but this is one of the slicker things I’ve seen lately for any type of embedded device, much less musical.
Laptops are pretty standard on stage at live show these days…things like Rebirth and cd turntables have been around for a solid decade now. But the Reactable…
Just yesterday I was lamenting the lack of good ways to interact with a 3d model in Sketchup. These 3d mice look interesting (and have linux support), though I wonder if they require a helicopter pilot license. There’s major promise though if comp sci doctorates are making devices like Reactables!
Oh and the Reactable runs linux. I love the Xubuntu logo on the table as they start to calibrate the projector and camera in the middle of the video.
Awesome.
