What better way to liven up your desk and keep children at bay, then to have this creepy robotic hand that mime plays classical piano. The various gears and levers inside the clear plastic skin allow the fingers to move precisely as if it were playing the piano while audio is played back. Enjoy the tunes of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer, or Choplin’s Minute Waltz. With a sound sensor, the device starts when you clap. I suppose this would make for good Halloween accent décor. Priced at $16.95.

    If it isn’t just enough listening to Beethoven, people also need to see a moving hand in action to be amazed.

    I think that in the near future that the company will upgrade this robotic hand. Perhabs they are going to connected to the USB port so that they can control it from the computer…
