• Bhoreal – open source monome-like RGB controller

    Today’s info bite comes via Create Digital Music, and it’s about the open source RGB grid controller Bhoreal, being developed by Spanish interaction and technology studio MID, who’ve just wrapped up a crowd funding campaign for it.

    The controller is open-source, its applications are crowd-sourced, it cam come with RGB LEDs and wireless connectivity, and it’s apparently dirt cheap (around 140 euros/ 180 USD gets you a DIY kit so that you can build it yourself). So it’s basically a monome, but with more functionality and more financially accessible, which is a good thing.

    The MID guys demonstrated all sorts of applications of the Bhoreal at the SONAR festival, where they had it control a huge robot and a laser show. Sweet. Open source FTW!
