If you could design a music product ..

[Andrew Robinson]

Ok, the physical form of Tony's device is a small box with (say) 16
headphone inputs and one headphone output. There are no controls on it
other than an on/off switch. Hardware wise, it's basically just an audio
mixer for as many ios/android devices as you want to connect to it with a
CPU and wifi. Once you've bought the box, you just grab free software for
your tables and phones that talks to the box over wifi. If you want to add
screen real estate, or processor power you can choose to buy 4 iPads... or
just invite your mates round and borrow their phones.. or let them join in
the jam if you like. Wifi/bluetooth handles sync, load-balancing and
latency compensation. Devices with front-facing cameras talk to each other
to handle gesture recognition and to work out their physical locations
relative to each other, so the system knows (for example) that if you slide
a block off the left of device a's screen, it should appear on the right of
device b's screen, and can judge depth by using stereo vision (yay! virtual
laser harps).
