Our Machines
Each Hypnocade machine offers a unique approach to interactive video synthesis, designed for different experiences and environments.
Hypno
The original Hypnocade machine. Built around the legendary Hypno video synthesizer, this interactive arcade unit gives players control over a kaleidoscopic video landscape where colors, shapes, and interactions are created generatively.
Visual Control
Three joysticks and seven buttons control oscillators, feedback, mirroring, and color manipulation
Glitch Effects
Four custom circuit-bent glitch buttons create authentic analog distortions and textures
Dynamic Marquee
70+ RGB LEDs react to the video output, creating an immersive light show
Technical Specifications
Ensō
Debuting in April 2026. The Enso machine explores rotational motion and flow states using video camera feedback. Inspired by the Zen Buddhist concept of the ensō circular form, this machine focuses on meditative, flowing visual experiences.
Circular Motion Controls
