    Abstract: A keyboard apparatus according to an embodiment includes a keyboard and a mutual capacitance proximity sensor. The keyboard includes a first key and a second key arranged in an array direction with respect to the first key. The proximity sensor includes a first electrode having a portion extending from at least a first area below the first key to a second area below the second key, a second electrode arranged in the first area, and a third electrode arranged in the second area. The proximity sensor is a mutual capacitance type sensor and is configured to use a change in capacitance between the first electrode and the second electrode and a change in capacitance between the first electrode and the third electrode.

    Abstract: A string instrument includes a saddle inserted into a groove of an instrument main body and supporting strings, and a pickup including a piezoelectric element having a porous layer that is stretchable and compressible, and that outputs a detection signal in accordance with a stretching/compressing deformation of the porous layer. The piezoelectric element is disposed between a first side surface of the saddle and a first inner side surface of the groove. A width of the groove from the first inner side surface to the second inner side surface of the groove is greater than a width of the saddle in an arrangement direction in which the first and the second inner side surfaces are arranged. A thickness of the piezoelectric element under no load in the arrangement direction is greater than or equal to the difference between the width of the groove and the width of the saddle.

    Abstract: Provided is a data glove which imparts little discomfort when worn, and is capable of accurately detecting movement of a hand, comprising: a glove main body; and a plurality of strain sensors which are disposed on the dorsal side of the glove main body in regions corresponding to at least one finger, and which detect stretch and contraction of the glove main body. The strain sensors preferably include a first strain sensor and a second strain sensor which are disposed on the dorsal side of the glove main body to correspond respectively to a proximal interphalangeal joint and a metacarpophalangeal joint of at least one finger of the second through fifth fingers, and which detect stretch and contraction of the glove main body in a proximal-distal direction. The data glove preferably further comprises a plurality of stretch prevention parts which limit the elongation of the glove main body.
