Abstract :
The reacTable* is a novel multi-user electro-acoustic musical instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface. In this paper we focus on the various collaborative aspects of this new instrument as well as on some of the related technical details such as the networking infrastructure. The instrument can be played both in local and remote collaborative scenarios and was designed from the very beginning to serve as a musical instrument for several simultaneous players
