VIDEO: Volkswagen's Swedish Musical Stairs
Last week we posted a video of the bottle bank arcade machine created by Volkswagen and TheFunTheory.com. This video is a little more musical and is for the lazy folks who always take the escalators or elevators.
The idea is the same as before except instead of making recycling more fun, they're trying to make taking the stairs more fun. Why, you ask? Because fun can change behavior for the better and you know, we have legs for a reason. Peep the video below and check out The Fun Theory YouTube channel for more videos.

Seems to help the lazy
did anybody see that old guy taking the stairs (1:23) ?
Thats cool.
Imagine how many would use those stairs if there were erotic noises instead of notes~ ohhh...ahhhh...hmmm...yeahhh
Ahem ... I guess next week we'll have the World's Deepest Bin, Jane?
Very nice series of articles, BTW, I didn't know about this until I read your article about the bottle bank arcade machine
It is an interesting theory and seems obvious when you look at it, make something more energetic more fun and people will do it, I normally hate ad campaigns but this is a good one for a change
But it needs planners and developers to take note and maybe pass on and use some of the ideas that Volkswagen are showing and putting it into practice, sadly I doubt that will happen
its always worth it when you do it for teh lulz xD
lol this is actually surprisingly funny and also helpful making ppl move a tiny bit extra instead of squeezing through the escalator. They need to lower the volume though cause it can get a bit annoying after its not that new and interesting anymore.
So.. do we have a number of accidents on ppl finding it too funny and messing around with them long enough till they fell off the stairs?
Amazing idea, really help the lazy.
Imagine the sound of piano when someone somersaults down the stairs.....
Really cool, piano's make such beautiful music. I see a lot of falling accidents caused by this in the future though.
I know the inventor of musical stairs and the original walking piano. His name is Remo Saraceni and is an absolute genius.
He designed these magical items more than twenty years ago and Tom Hanks was the first to dance on walking piano in the movie Big.
If you want to see with your eyes all the possible applications of the walking piano played with the feet take a look at Remo Saraceni’s channel on youtube.
