The Walking Piano
Big Piano (also called The Walking Piano), was invented in 1976 by Remo Saraceni. It is a precursor of Dance pad games and is a musical instrument that merges dance, music, and play. The Piano is played by the user's feet where shoes, socks, and even the tiniest of toes can tap the keys that make the music. The instrument is perhaps best known from the 1988 comedy Big.
The film Big brought the Big Piano to mainstream attention; the filmmakers first saw it on display at the toy store FAO Schwarz together with other Remo Saraceni's designs and inventions in a special showroom of the store that displayed new ideas.
In this spectacular demonstration of Big Piano's playfulness and interactive magic, Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia plays Heart and Soul and Chopsticks (song).
After the movie "Big", the Big Piano became famous worldwide and many museums worldwide now have their own. Big Piano remains as popular as the famous scene of the movie now itched in the minds of millions of people all over the world, spanning many generations. The one seen in the movie is now back in its home town at Philadelphia's Please Touch Museum.

It's cool to see people actually playing piano by using their legs. It's really nothing that human could not do. Everything is changing so fast. I wonder if one day we could play piano by using our mind, sending signal to the piano and play by its own.
