Tod Machover, Professor of Music an Media at the MIT Media lab and director of the Lab's Hyperinstrument and Opera of the Future group, takes us on a ride along, demonstrating the possibilities of an immersive music experience, with his Hyperinstruments. He introduces "Death and the Powers" - the robotic opera as one of the outcomes of Hyperinstrument use. His students at the MIT Media Lab demonstrate the Hyperinstruments. His developments are real "Hotspots".
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
