Completely unusable as a controller, but an interesting direction to take nonetheless. Perhaps timecode will be eventually replaced by just a special little (infrared?) USB camera and a visually-encoded record -- the technology is definitely there, what with optical mice made for gaming having 1000dpi resolution or more over a USB 2.0 connection.Using a vinyl record equipped with an AR marker, he manipulates the music by moving in front of a video camera. It's also got the added bonus of being able to control the beat across a three-dimensional space, and if you're viewing it through the camera's feed, the middle marker's replaced by pre-set visuals.
