At first I thought it was a hoax, but once I learned how it works, I was impressed.

Well, I'm still in the "it must be a hoax" phase, can you explain? Or would you have to kill me?

You use a webcam and it recognises where you plonk the cubes on the paper... fantastic fun and impressive too. I hope my 5 year old son is equally impressed with it when I show it to him tomorrow! Tony www.captive.co.uk

I don't think its a hoax. It is a nifty application written for an open-source pattern recognition software library.
It says you need a webcam, and you presumably point it above the page that the boxes are placed on, and based on where it detects the shapes printed on the cardboard cubes relative to where they are on the page, determines the sound to use and the step to trigger.
You'll notice the page stuck to the table has markers on it and that presumably calibrates the image detection software.

Clever!
