Also, what Phisto said ;-)
More seriously though, I'm getting images of that weird flute thing in Futurama now. Dunno if anyone here knows what it is I'm on about, it's the instrument Fry plays and it conjures up an image above it as a sort of, holo-vid, where the quality depends on the skill of the person playing it. Is this the kind of feel we're hoping for?

If this was a universe I was intimately familiar with (Say, the Halo universe which really doesn't lend itself to RP as much), I'd be typing away happily. However I'm still learning and so I look to more experienced people for advice and guidelines as to how far I can take an idea without it being too outlandish or unfriendly to the lore.

Luke3107Hey, I'm not saying Luke listens EXCLUSIVELY to 20/21st Century Rock, just that anything that causes hallucinations or unexpected feelings of euphoria are a seriously bad idea to play in a cockpit =P

It was the HoloPhoner I believe, but I'll stick to the Hugo Rune re-invented Ocarina, those extra notes do some amazing things!

Feel free to comment as you see fit and let me know what you think.
Definitely not an exhaustive list but I hope it lays a decent groundwork for me, or others, to build on. Or, you know, folk can say it's garbage and I've not done enough or too much. We'll see, I guess.

I am noting a complete lack of the Holo-Kazoo. And this makes me very angry. Why is it only instruments involved in metal rock bands make it on these futuristic lists?
I guess Kazoo haters will be haters.

Wait, Kazoos are not used in Metal?

I can't speak to Kazoos, but parrots are known to front metal bands.

I can't be critical of anything anymore (or else it'll draw a "AW, JES XEK BEIN' XEK" response) but...
This is the hill you're choosing to die on?

Can't blame a guy for trying. I'll know better next time.

Something like, Luke plays a stringed holo-instrument of Shamasen decent is enough.

The player places their fingertips on the surface and moves the right hand up and down the globe to control pitch and the left hand controls various effects like sustain and modulation.
The globe detects the heart rate and other vitals of the player and the colours of the plasma change with it, resulting in the most passionate of performances being a dazzling spectacle of light and colour.
I don't have a name for it, but if it existed I wouldn't mind having a go.
