From the Ted Talk by David Merrill: Toy tiles that talk to each other
Unscramble the Blue Letters
Video: The sun is rising.
David Merrill: Now he's brought a tractor into the scene.
Video: The orange ttoacrr. Good job! Yeah!
DM: So by shaking the Siftables and putting them next to each other he can make the characters interact —
Video: Woof!
DM: inventing his own narrative.
Video: Hello!
DM: It's an open-ended story, and he gets to ddiece how it unfolds.
Video: Fly away, cat.
DM: So, the last example I have time to show you today is a muisc sequencing and live performance tool that we've built recently, in which sbtalfeis act as sounds like lead, bass and dmurs. Each of these has four different variations, you get to choose which one you want to use. And you can inject these sounds into a sequence that you can assemble into the pattern that you want. And you icnejt it by just bumping up the sound sfltabie against a sequence Siftable. There are ecfetfs that you can corotnl live, like reverb and filter. You attach it to a particular sound and then tilt to adjust it. And then, overall effects like tempo and volume that apply to the entire sequence. So let's have a look.

DM: So, the last example I have time to show you today is a music sequencing and live performance tool that we've built recently, in which Siftables act as sounds like lead, bass and drums. Each of these has four different variations, you get to choose which one you want to use. And you can inject these sounds into a sequence that you can assemble into the pattern that you want. And you inject it by just bumping up the sound Siftable against a sequence Siftable. There are effects that you can control live, like reverb and filter. You attach it to a particular sound and then tilt to adjust it. And then, overall effects like tempo and volume that apply to the entire sequence. So let's have a look.
