The Emulator + Token (Looks Like Iron Man's Computer)

"emulator" on töken concept from yöyen munchausen on Vimeo.

To date, touch screens have generally been little bigger than a book - more often than not the size of… well an iPhone screen. This of course makes the spacious traditional DJ metaphor a tad cramped to say the least, and frankly really crap to watch if you're a punter. But this video demonstrates the next level of controller technology, and also overcomes the hunched over the iPad non-performance. My iPad just became a placemat.

This is a 2 part thing:

1. The big screen is something called Token, developed by vimeo user yöyen munchausen. It appears to be a large multitouch screen interface aimed at performance. The beauty of it is that you can see both sides, thus the viewer can see exactly what the DJ is doing.

2. The software is called Emulator and created by Pablo Martin. It's a multitouch Windows 7 only program, and designed to work with 1280x800 touch screens. It's actually MIDI control software, and in this first release works with Traktor in internal mode, with compatibility with others coming.

If you thought that last post on iPad DeeJaying was deep, then this is sure to blow your mind. The Token has got to be the most sophisticated touch screen computer to come along so far.
Of cource this is gonna cost you a pretty penny, but the effect is immeasurable!!!
