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
Debuted April 2026 at Midwest Gaming Classic. 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
Use joysticks to control camera motion, screen position, and physical compositing
Flow-based Visual Generation
Explore the nuance of video feedback with fine-grained movements and analog glitch textures
Meditative Interaction Design
Explore fractal clusters, recursive patterns, and shimmering colorful galaxies with pleasing controls
