When we last checked in on Mark Rober, the NASA engineer turned actually-really-entertaining YouTube guy, he was risking life and limb to explore shark science with one of the Stranger Things kids. Now, he’s returned with another experiment that loses the sense of terrible danger but holds onto the need to present viewers with unnervingly lifeless eyes: A customized self-playing piano that sort of speaks English and has a pair of googly plastic peepers slapped onto it.
Though the “talking” aspect of Chopstix, the super piano in question, requires subtitles to easily understand, the creation is still an engineering marvel. Rober has customized a piano so it can accept audio inputs and perform perfect musical replications all on its own.
