Arduino read from pressure sensors the value of pressure of the fingers and the palm. When someone apply some pressure with a finger, a key of a virtual keyboard is pressed (I produced some code in Javascript and the 3d model in order to create a virtual keyboard on Unity3D). This can be applied to play music without a physical keyboard.
Very easy, cheap. Everyone can play music this way !!!
At the moment I realize this only for one sensor, but it's easy to do the rest.
