The project started in February 2003, with the
ambitious goal of developing the best computer-
based musical instrument we could imagine,
without being necessarily constrained by any
predefined technology. In that sense, the Reactable
really started from a concept, and not from a

development of the Reactable music instrument in
all its forms (tabletop, mobile apps, etc.) is being
carried by the spin-off company Reactable Systems.
