"The Misa Digital Guitar is a digital music controller like we haven’t seen before. The body, machined out of ABS, looks like a guitar. The player puts theirs hands in the same places you would on a guitar but the lack of strings make it something different. The left had manipulates inputs in the form of 144 sensors, six in each of the twenty-four fret positions. The right hand doesn’t strum, but uses a multitouch screen to control the inputs."

so it's a touch screen midi controller with a billion buttons and open source software (and it will look pretty with the lights off
)
I think it's pretty neat and i could see myself using it for ambient stuff if it doesn't cost insane amounts of money
