The tangible 'scratching' object looks pretty neat, though my hope is that it is used less for scratching and more for some other purpose.

Evidently this was the prototype to VPlay, and although the idea with the transparent connecting pieces (with front, or above, projection I'm supposing) is obviously more limited than the free-form connection of nodes with virtual wiring, I think it looked pretty cool.

The VideoPlay paper references "The Tangible Video Editor", which led me to Jamie Zigelbaum at MIT who has a bunch of interesting research (and design/art works) including a hand-gestural system a-la Minority Report called g-stalt. On the Oblong Industries (developer of the g-speak operating environment g-stalt uses) site it is noted that "[the] similarity is no coincidence: one of Oblong's founders served as science advisor to Minority Report and based the design of those scenes directly on his earlier work at MIT".

Isn't it obvious that the VJ wants to see the output? That output is "the final product" (cf making a film where the final product can be experienced at a later time and ideed multiple times), and in-situ is a lot different to on-monitor (and "at home"). It seems that Stuart needs a hand with scoping out the application domain! Anyone to volunteer? :D
Eyes free interactions
Feedback from VJs who used the system provided a further insight, focusing around the need for eyes free interaction at critical times during system use. Although the VPlay interface provides output preview windows, there were times during the performance when the VJs were focusing their visual attention on the projected displays, yet still interacting with the system. This problem of split attention occasionally led to situations where the VJ lost acquisition of a digital interface control, momentarily disrupting a mix.
