Big Science VJ

I have been thinking about building a very large scale interface for VJing, using big levers, knobs and knife switches. The idea would be to put on a VJ performance that looks like it's being put on by madmen in lab coats working with arcane instruments, not nerds checking e-mail...

Actually what I've been thinking is along similar lines, but different in purpose - build an interface where the audience is able to interact with the visuals.

Maybe more applicable for lounge then for main floor.

But, using for example an infra-red camera and gesture recognition could do something in main floor too.

Speaking of know madness, I was at a friends house over the weekend. He had a few Korg synthesizers & such. OMG talk about knob maddness!!! Its basically like programing a computer was in the 1940's/early 1950's you turn an ancountably large amount of knobs, press huge number of buttons to input a simple assembly program... Kind of.
Makes VJ software look like something FisherPrice put out in comparison!!!
