Music Gadget Projects

I recently discovered a very interesting (but entirely unnecessary) laser projector which can be used to provide a full size QWERTY keyboard for any bluetooth enabled device. The unit projects a keyboard onto any opaque flat surface, and uses an invisible infra-red layer to detect keystrokes…

This device can be obtained from Falco Enterprises in the UK, and they have a specification sheet here. A Japanese company called Digital Information Development have made a version of the projector which provides a piano keyboard, and you can check out a video of it in action here.

It’s not clear if the projector is actually of any practical value for musical performance, but it features in a list of six top music gadgets over at TechEBlog, alongside such gems as the Tesla Coil Music System, a trumpet-playing robot, the world’s smallest grand piano and a self-playing violin.
