It uses an inexpensive digital video camera to observe a rotating platter. Opaque objects placed on the platter are detected by the camera during rotation. The locations of the objects passing under the camera are used to generate music.

Using a number of diffuse infrared beacons and a focused infrared receiver, the system detects head orientation and uses this information to adjust the mix of a multi-part musical piece. The simple hardware and software setup provides a new and effective way to present information in entertainment, communication and educational scenarios.
