Rube-Goldberg’esque Music Machine (Powered by Intel and LabVIEW)

Back in the early 2000’s, a CGI video called “Pipe Dream“ went viral!! The video featured an super-cool Rube-Goldberg’esque music making machine. Intel (armed with National Instruments cRIO and LabVIEW) built a equally as awesome real world version of it... and I was lucky enough to see it in action at NI-WEEK 2012 in Austin, Texas. So how does it compare to the original video? Check it out here Not a bad CGI-to-reality conversion, eh?
