NOMNOM: The Video Machine

NOMNOM: The Video Machine

NOMNOM: The Video Machine allows users to play YouTube videos as music samples, and sync them like a DJ.
Powered by an Arduino, NOMNOM controls the playback of YouTube videos presented on a web browser.

What inspired you to make this project?:
Two main things inspired me to work on this project: The first is that I was always fascinated by digital music creation tools and DJ controllers and mixers, but felt that these tools are over complicated and that there is a huge barrier that prevents me from starting to learn how to use them. The second is that in recent years I realized that YouTube contains a vast amount of very cools and high-quality music snippets. These snippets, that are usually extremely original and cannot be found anywhere else, could and should be used materials for music creators.
NOMNOM: The Video Machine aims to solve all that -- To lower the barrier newcomers and beginners and to show them that DJ and live performance equipment does not have to be very intimidating to provide the needed tools to create music, and to introduce YouTube and user generated videos and valid material for music creation.
