When I saw the word AirPiano, the first thing that came to mind was air guitar. Afterwards, visions of my friends in their acid washed demin, head banging to White Snake flooded in. Seriously though, I didn’t hang out with anyone who listened to White Snake. Back on track, AirPiano is another amazing musical interface that recently caught our eye. The device consists of a long bar, which the user interacts with by placing and moving their hands on top of. Hence no keyboard or piano experience is required to make sounds from a variety of instruments, which are all driven by software. Having seen the Reactable in use at a Björk concert last Summer, the AirPiano doesn’t seem as thrilling. That said, it’s size gives it definite potential for widespread use. Be sure to check out the video demo.
