These would be an odd idea!
Would be cool if you could make them clear...or LCD at a click of a button.
You would not have to look down at the screen all the time.
:D

Yeah,
Not crazy about the spacefly look but looking at the laptop screen while djing is the biggest turnoff of controllerism i find.
So boring when u see someone onestage looking at their laptop...And having a laptop stand just makes it worse!
This is definetly an area in need of inovation
Cant wait till they come out with contacts that do the same ting.
Agreed!Quote:

Seems a lil better.
Check out what a friend of mine made by hacking a Wii controller, it's see through so the crowd can watch it too. Different kind of DJ setup, more mashup style but cool none the less.

Awesome - yeah TradeMark is the bomb; he's put a lot of thought into the showmanship side of controllerism. Besides the massive visual display for Ableton there's another level of crowd interaction with the "wheel of mashups," etc. ECC is doing some great things.
I'm not sure how something like this would work with Traktor (or Serato) as the screen itself is less intricate. I think it's more about what you're doing with the controllers at that level. While part of me would love to have this kind of direct interaction with a large screen, messing around with turntables, mixers, buttons, joysticks, etc. will probably look a lot more dynamic.
That's pretty cool.
I give it 5 maybe 10 years where we won't have monitors anymore everything will all be Minority Report style and just projections 5 feet in front of us. They are already working on this and have some limited success with a working prototype there just waiting for the other technologies to catch up to get it all working.

LoL I have a 3 year old and it scares me to think what wonders await her at my age and more. I mean just the last 20 years have superseded the last 100 years prolly two fold if not more. Come on future get here now ... ohh man missed it .. ohh here it comes again come on future get here now ...
LoL :P
