With web-cams?

Hurray for comment mis-firing. >.< I think I actually liked the OLD comments system BETTER.

Sorry, Basroil, this was meant for one of the (Unverified)s above you.

Actually, there's only one problem with that, at least from what I can tell: even if you were to use a turntable from a record player or a Lazy Susan or something, I'm thinking that even the turntable would become part of the object. If you look closely, they guy's hand gets modeled at one point; it gets edited out by the program, but traces of it are still there on the finished model.

Now, if you had a lightbox and a turntable made of a circle of perfectly clear matte glass or plastic or something, THAT might work…

I wish that there was a download for this on the Cambridge site. :(

I agree with the 'hell no', but only in regards to Barbie.

Someone's forgetting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Bucky O'Hare! :D *

Is it weird that when I read that, I automatically thought of SETEC Astronomy from Sneakers? .>

On-topic: this would make for some AWESOME surround sound. Literally: panel your walls and ceiling with it, and presto!

The bad part about that would be, playing horror-genre video games — well, let's just say you wouldn't play them with the lights off ever again…

Probably due to semi-dyslexia and being somewhat of a Star Trek geek, I ended up misreading "Archos" as "Archons" — did that happen to anyone else, or just me?

But can they mount it on a shark?

That would technically be ~3.9-4.0 Terahertz, or THz.

I probably wouldn't have it for another decade or so, though — the computer I'm using right now is running Windows XP on 384MB (yes, MEGAbytes) of RAM, with a measly 700MHz AMD Duron processor, and I'm too poor to upgrade to anything better yet. :(

I can SORTA read music — I'm attempting to learn, anyway. Currently, however, the keyboard I play is in a storage building seventy-seven miles away. Usually, I just play by ear anyway. :/ Is there anything wrong with that?

Aaand back on topic: BAH! Learning through memorizing which key to strike and how long to hold it down is okay, but it's honestly not the best way to learn. I should know — I know several songs, all of which come from video games, and I only know them because I hooked my keyboard up to my PC and used the light-up keys on it to learn. XP
It's certainly not the WORST way, but seriously — this apparatus is merely the next-generation 'light-up key' system: instead of just lighting up the key you need to press, however, it forcefully drags your fingers — hand(s) and all — to the correct spot on the keyboard/piano you're playing.

Depending on the price, however, it might not be too bad of an alternative to piano lessons — it looks like you can use the software to import sheet music or MIDIs or something and play those, so hey — at least the kid (or whoever is using the device) would be able to learn whatever song he/she wanted.

P.S.: if anyone here plans on getting/actually gets this, I want them to record a video of them playing the NES Silver Surfer in-game tune. AND upload it to YouTube. :)

P.P.S.: am I the only one who finds the voiceover-woman's voice extremely annoying in that vid?

Take off every ‘Zig’.
