ISMAR 2009 Epilogue: A New Augmented Reality World Order. ISMAR 2009 is over.
It was the best of times. Augmented to the Nth degree. How does the world of Augmented Reality looks like in the morning after? Eager, revolutionary, strong, creative, responsible, loving – with a speck of a hang over. SynthPond. Originally developed for Mac synthPond is a spatial sequencer and generative audio toy for the iPhone inspired by the work of Toshio Iwai.
Unlike a normal sequencer where you place notes on a grid and a moving playhead plays them, in synthPond you place nodes in a field ie the pond. As the system is spatial, it’s easily graspable and very intuitive, but also very deep. While it’s easy for someone with no music knowledge to create a complex melody, synthpond is also suited for advanced musicians who are interested in generative musical composition.
