The Idea of the ReacTable was developed by four graduate students of the Spanish university of "Pompeu Fabra" in Barcelona. The young and ambitious students, Sergi Jordà, Martin Kaltenbrunner, Günter Geiger and Marcos Alonso of the music technology group, started developing this new and exciting concept in 2003.
Their aim was to make a tangible electro acoustic musical instrument, for it to be collaberative and fun to play. They say “the ReacTable started as a consept and not a technology, we first knew what we wanted to build, and then, discovered how to build it.”
In 2005 the ambitious group performed the first public ReacTable concert in the International Computer Music Conference. Since then the ReacTable has received an enormous amount of publicity and in 2006 the ReacTable got over 4,000,000 million hits on youtube and the numbers growing.
