“Creativity is a relevant characteristic for people's development as it facilitates the generation of new ideas and innovation processes. Although technology has played an important role on creativity stimulation, it still needs to be explored for a better understanding and support in the context of information and communication technologies. In this paper a basic creativity assessment model is presented and an empirical study has been conducted whose aim is to get insight into whether an interactive surface as base technology for collaborative creative tasks is promising in terms of both collaboration and creativity traits. In the study two tabletop-based platforms (a digitally-augmented, and a physical-only without computer mediation) were involved to solve a problem consisting of creating Rube-Goldberg machines. From these experiments, we have observed that in terms of creativity traits, interactive surfaces seem promising as groups working in the digital platform showed significantly more performance in fluency of thinking, were more motivated, and novelty was found near to significance. Also some issues related to collaboration and interaction were analyzed. In particular, the co-operation, the retrial fine adjustment, and the dominance showed that the properties of an interactive surface tabletop suits better for facilitating the sharing of objects and participation in conditions of co-operation by co-located participants.”

“In this paper we present the Reactable, a new electronic musical instrument with a simple and intuitive tabletop interface that turns music into a tangible and visual experience, enabling musicians to experiment with sound, change its structure, control its parameters and be creative in a direct, refreshing and unseen way.”

“Since commercial musical recordings became available about a century ago and until very recently, they had always been distributed by means of a physical support. Nowadays that record companies have ultimately started to distribute music over the Internet, "music" does not use physical space anymore, and we can now store amazingly large music collection in our computers or portable music players. But this etherealness does not come without some drawbacks, such as browsing by the covers or organizing and grouping elements or collections. In this paper we propose a system in which files (intangible) become physical objects again, thus recovering part of the mysticism related with vinyls or compact discs, without loosing most of the benefits inherent to digital data, and applying at the same time some advantages that tangible and tabletop interfaces can offer. Complementarily, and from a more agnostic perspective, this paper also starts to explore on the tangible manipulation of sets or collections of items.”

In: Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Tangible and Embedded Interaction 2009. pp. 369-372.
“Tangible interactions on horizontal surfaces are increasingly relevant for collaborative applications, embodied interaction, musical performance, and interaction with 3D information. This unique studio opportunity introduces approaches to developing applications on four related platforms: the Reactable: a musical tabletop, and its companion fiducial tracking system reacTIVision, Microsoft Surface: a commercial multi-touch table, MemTable: a large interactive tabletop, and Relief: a responsive 3D surface. It will focus on the unique affordances of multi-input and multi-user event handling shared and afforded by each of the four platforms. Participants will work in small groups within some simplified code templates to develop a small applications focused on co-located input by multiple people, combining the use of tangible objects and touch input.”

“In recent years we have seen a proliferation of musical tables. Believing that this is not just the result of a tabletop trend, in this paper we first discuss several of the reasons for which live music performance and HCI in general, and musical instruments and tabletop interfaces in particular, can lead to a fertile two-way cross-pollination that can equally benefit both fields. After that, we present the reacTable, a musical instrument based on a tabletop interface that exemplifies several of these potential achievements.”
