Turn Sheet Music Pages on the iPad…With The Tap of Toe

We saw the iPad being used as music instrument in the past. There are hundreds of cool applications for DJs, guitar players, even orchestra directors. I bet you haven’t seen anything like this though. A free-hand controller that connects to the iPad and allows musicians to turn music pages using their feet, thus being able to play the instrument.

TUAW reports:

“A company called Airturn has developed the BT-105, a Bluetooth foot switch for turning pages on the iPad forward and backward using a tap of a foot. As Hugh Sung explains in the video above, it allows instrumentalists who are busy with both hands to use a toe to tap one of the two switches to move through the score easily.”

It will be available later this year.  Check out the demo video below.
