UK's creative design studio Dentaku has a team of crazy electronics wizards who want to make your life musical by allowing you to create musical instruments out of your regular, everyday objects. Their creation is called Ototo and it's a combination of a PCB aka Printed Circuit Board, touch-sensors, touch-pads & inputs that can be attached to almost everything using crocodile clips. You can therefore turn your boring computer keyboard into a musical keyboard. Don't forget to check the video at the bottom of this article.


The official website of Dentaku says that you can use Ototo to create a drum kit from saucepans or an origami that sings when touched. The USP of Ototo is that it lets you unbox the kit and quickly start interacting with sound you never imagined before. You don't need a degree in electrical or electronics engineering and you can start using it even if you haven't soldered anything ever. The kit doesn't need programming knowledge either.

The kit's based on Arduino platform and connects with other components easily to let you unleash your creativity. There's an on-board speaker along with a 3.5 mm audio port so that you can connect it to your external speakers. The team wanted to create an easy-to-use kit that makes physical computing accessible for everyone.
