looks nice... probably the triggers are wireless, not the MIDI 
signal... and it does not seem to be a comercial product.
do you think this is artistically interesting? I guess the public 
just grabs on it as soon as it reaches it, so there is no expression 
exept eager... no?
I had rather imagined the size of a hand ball, so a dancer can play 
with it and create rhythms, maybe melodic things by squeezing it...

thank you for that inspiration anyway!
