AirPiano Plays Tunes Out of Mid Air

071008_sz_airpiano.jpg We remember when our mom forced us to take piano lessons. We hated it, but maybe if we were practicing on the AirPiano we'd be a little more into it...

 
 

Designed by Omer Yosha, the AirPiano lets you play and control software instruments by moving your hands in the air. "Above the AirPiano is a virtual matrix of keys and faders, each assigned with MIDI messages and ready to be triggered. The length of a triggered note is equivalent to the time a hand is placed on the corresponding virtual key."


Just a prototype, we hope this thing is manufactured for the masses to get their faux ivory on.

I think I'd rather play around with a theremin...maybe I'm just old tech.
