I got mine on special for about $25 from EB. I was really suprised to see how cheap they are. For the same price as a mouse, how come everyone doesn't have one of these to augment the way they interact with their computer?
it looks a bit like fijuu from pix and julian oliver, which uses Pd
sound stuff and Ogre for graphics. see fijuu.com for details. cool and
interesting system.
Fijuu was definately an inspiration for ergates. I haven't used it, but from an aesthetic point of view I have admired their screenshots and videos for a long time now. Everyone should check it out; it's wicked. http://fijuu.com
My goals with ergates are to make an AV instrument which depends only on Puredata and Gem, requires only a common USB gamepad for input, and is really easy to make custom instruments for. I hope there is room in our community for more than one game-like AV performance system!
someone mentioned Ogg showing some work with it, but I find nothing
on the site. am I blind?
It's at the top of the screenshots page.
Best,
Chris.
