The SR3T adds a wearable finger for piano, letting users reach and press keys while using natural fingers. Thumb movement controls horizontal reach, and the left foot controls pressing. In a two-hour test, one musician played melodies and chords and reached four whole notes beyond their hand-span; this single-user study does not establish general learning or embodiment.
