IF they develop it, it might become more interesting but it would still need a turntable of somesort.

A cool concept.]]>Apr 28th 2009 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/Apr 28th 2009 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/Apr 28th 2009 4:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/Apr 28th 2009 4:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/Apr 28th 2009 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/Apr 28th 2009 4:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/
Also that was cool how the AR marker changed to the album cover art as it was recognized by the camera on screen.]]>Apr 28th 2009 4:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/Apr 28th 2009 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/Apr 28th 2009 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/Apr 28th 2009 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/
There are tons of advanced softwares that imitates vinyl scratching that have been available for a LONG TIME and more are coming up everyday: Traktor, Traktor Duo, Final Scratch, etc, etc, etc. Some with virtual turntables, some with actual physical vinyl discs, any variation you want, it has already been done and available for a while!

Was this "inventor" asleep the last 5 years?]]>Apr 28th 2009 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/Apr 28th 2009 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/Apr 28th 2009 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/Apr 28th 2009 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/
So reading vinyl grooves and pits, digital or analogue signals, by a light medium or even by old fashioned diamond stylus, is OLD NEWS...]]>Apr 28th 2009 7:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/
The vinyl is entirely superfluous, it could well be a CD or a bit of paper.

So while you are correct that no new technology is being used to actually playback the record - you've missed the point that a new CONTROL system has been created. Admittedly this sort of thing has been done before, but as far as I'm aware it's application to audio is entirely new.]]>Apr 28th 2009 8:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/

Serious about this? Daft pricks!
Got beer moneys for making this?

A real DJ would never be able to use such a monstrosity. Nor would he want to. ]]>Apr 28th 2009 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/
and all those other people - - who have no idea what theyre talking about

I am also a dj I play at various clubs while in college

I am also a turntablist ( a scratch dj)

- - - it makes no sense to scratch on a non-moving platter or on a piece of paper.

THis destroys the whole feel of a turntable and scratching. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO A SCRATCH OR A MIX DJ. The reason why we sitll use 12 year old TECHNICS turntables is because love the low wow and flutter and the 2 kg torque . . . even though WAY WAY WAY Better turntables have been made such as the pdx series by vestax.

THE INDUSTRY STANDARD IS SERATO SCRATCH LIVE . . . with a dash of traktor . . on the side



THIS iS AS USELESS as an ipod dj player . . . no serious dj would ever have any use for this. It makes no sense because traktor and serato do a 29830928390283092832 times better job of what this concept could ever do


even the cdxs by numark or the tascam roller thing does a better job

THis is useless . . . and will never amount commercially to anything

it is a garrage project that is fun to look at and nothing more]]>Apr 28th 2009 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/ar-enhanced-vinyl-disk-lets-you-scratch-sans-turntable/
that is ludicrous 99% of scratching is derived from the tactile feel of an actual knob moving back and forth at ridiculous speeds with percission

its like trying to play a multitouch violin - it would be one of the dumbest concepts ever . .

any person that has ever scratched in their entire life will understand that it is impossible to scratch seriously on a multitouch surface


ABSENT - - the new midi and scratch controllers by stanton (which do feature a touch interface) and are more a novelty than a serious consumer item . . . this is plane stupidity.
