Call me a cynic, but this is just more of the same gosh-wow fluff that the Media Lab keeps putting out. It's not quite as wacky as videoconferencing for parrots, but it's also not hugely novel. I suspect that a research group at any other university would not have got funding for this work, and that any attention paid to this work will primarily be because it comes out of the Media Lab.

Huh? Does she have some forcefield she uses to manipulate hammers and so on? Can we not be touched in the other sense by tools such as pianos and guitars? I think she be touched in yet another sense.
