New Technology: AirPiano

Created by Omer Yosha from Germany (yay!). It's only a prototype.

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. This is also confirmed by LED feedback. (www.airpiano.de)

This looks like fun. I would play around with it, but I don't think I would integrate into actual production. It's amazing where technology is heading though.

What do you think? Is this something that could become influential the the music industry? Or could it just be a fun accessory?
