i bet theres a needle on the underside.
if you could really get that to synch up with something, itd be pretty cool, but on its own is a little lame sounding to be honest.

uhh.. i dont think there is a needle, looks to me like you load audio into a hardware/software buffer and use the dummy record as a controller, along with that crazy fader.......both the record and fader look as though they can be both controlled and automated (cos they seem to be able to move on their own)
fuckd

infact... D'Groove (Digital Groove) is the world's first digital haptic force feedback turntable system. It controls the playback rate and position of digital music (MP3's, WAVs, CDs, etc) using a physical turntable controller that plugs into a computer. It also uses "haptic" force feedback to provide information about the music to the DJ through the sense of touch.
D'Groove was designed and created by Timothy for his Master's Degree at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
http://www.timothywisdom.com/science/dgroove/dgroove.php pretty damn impressive technologically.... realistic usability is another issue alltogether.

see the thing is here... everyone who believes in the 'sanctity' of vinyl and shit... will freak out saying that this is bullshit, everyone else will be like "wow .... thats neat... look, you can actually "feel" the beats "(see below)...
the fact that this is based on the classic table set-up, is kind of irrelevant. this guy has made something pretty incredible. its interesting how he has tried to apply visual and tactile feedback which applys to the actual audio content, something which is not at all really present using a real turntable.
please dont be a jerk and complain about how lame this is.
The result in resistance mode is that moving the turntable or Q-slider in musically instense moments is hard and moving them during breaks or musically relaxed moements is easier. In beat-hills mode, the turntable feels like you're pushing uphill when you hit a patch of musical intensity and feels like you're falling downhill when you hit a break. This mode is useful for navigating through the song and is also fun for producing new scratch tricks and effects.
