Boston Museum of Science has had this for almost two decades on the staircase next to the Omnitheater (aka Omnimax.)

Wouldn’t this just make it more.. annoying to go down the stairs? Imagine a cat walking across a piano, now imagine 40 cats walking across a giant piano…

“The creators wanted to make taking the stairs rather than riding the escalator a bit more fun”

Commas, you know the period with a tail, they really do help comprehension.

It would be infuriating at rush hour

With my luck, I’d get stuck behind the kid who wanted to “play on the stairs because they make music!”

But seriously, I wish we could do fun stuff like this in the states. It’s unfortunate that if we did, there would probably be one or more bums there trying to charge to use it or cops there saying how all the wires and switches make it “suspicious to homeland security” and it’s got to go. Or you’d be sued for someone “tripping”(read purposely falling) on your project.

This video really made me smile. They turned a boring place into a moment of fun.

I love how people are using the stairs instead of escalators. way to get people to exercise.

I want to see a group of people playing some Bach on it, like a hand-bell choir or something. =D

Maybe if they wrote some sort of chording stuff engineered for chromatic scales, they might get people to play more elaborate stuff as they walk up the steps(but would still sound horrible in large groups most likely).

If people get to say that “If it has an arduino on it it’s not a hack,” then I get to say “If it has the logo of a major car company on it it’s not a hack.”

The trash can prank reminds me of the joke about the supposed outhouse prank. Where a recording asks a woman who just sat down to move to the other seat because he was working down there.

This is good idea) Piano stairs)

The point of it was to see if more people would use the stairs if they were funnier. As the video says, 66% more people chose to use the stairs.

Brilliant.
