Virtual MIDI piano glove even makes MJ’s sparkly one look tame (video)

When a piano necktie or keytar just feel too showy, why not elect the more subdued wireless MIDI piano glove? A good choice for daytime or night, the hand accessory lets you tickle the virtual ivories without putting a finger to a true eighty-eight. It really works as such: wired with resistive flex sensors, move a finger and the glove will send an electric current through a voltage divider and microcontroller to create the corresponding MIDI note. The end result? Single notes or chords of musical greatness truly worthy of a bad karaoke singalong. Take a look at the MIDI throwback video after the break.
