There are some interactive visualizations, although it is unclear how many controllers are active at once. Evidentially the hardware features a standard input [might be only a single connector though, unfortunately] so you can route an instrument into it and play along. I'm not sure if the visualizations are reactive to the mic/line in.

pretty standard looking

looks a little better here

might be some interesting use of 2d compositing techniques here


Image
it checks md5 sums on ripped cd audio, compares against a database, and brings up karaoke lyrics

'rave' mode. the dancers are supposed to be beat matched

Image
also lets you watch pictures and upload video files to be used in the visualizations

controller pack plugs into memory card slot. standard 1/4" jack. unknown if more than one can be active simultaneously.
