If you are good at air guitar or just moving around your fingers in the air without actually striking the chords, then you might want to give “Airheads” a little shot. The machine that has been specially crafted to allow you to play music in mid-air is all about getting together a few LEDs, infrared sensors and the right strings inside it to produce the appropriate tune. When your fingers move in front of the LEDs and block their light from striking the sensors, the specified tune is automatically produced. This enables you to not just play tunes in mid-air, but Airheads functions as a standard MIDI controller that allows you to hook it up to most synthesizers or even a drum machine.

The machine is designed to allow you to play music without strings, and while the technology involved is pretty simple, it works very effectively to offer a whole new musical experience. The starter kit of Airheads will comprise a single Airheads controller alongside the relevant parts and cables for $99.95, and you can rev it up from there on using your own musical and electronic expertise.
