Reactable Experience
The Reactable Experience is a version of the Reactable that is specially designed for public spaces and institutions such as museums, science centres, schools and universities. Conceived from the original Reactable, which was designed for professional musicians, the Reactable Experience is an intuitive and robust version for use by a casual player and is especially suited for children who are just starting to explore the world of music and sound generation.
Additionally, its collaborative and multi-user capabilities, which allow the instrument to be played by several simultaneous performers, open a whole new universe of entertaining and creative possibilities.
Collaborative
Its circular multi-touch interface allows the instrument to be played by several people simultaneously, inviting the visitors to share the experience and naturally engage in collaborative compositions.

“My family and I recently experienced the Reactable – what a wonderful experience. My 6 year old daughter was able to touch and see music which I thought was amazing and quite intuitive for her. Within a few minutes of understanding the basic idea she was creating her own music and started improvising!”
-Greg Corbanese, museum visitor
