Sony's logo is shown on a black background.

The piano is played.

On the background of the image of a man's hands playing the piano, Opening title, "Sony's Innovations & Challenges" and "Stories," and the subtitle, "Beyond the limits of musical expression through technology" and "Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc., "Musical Dynaformics"" are displayed.

In a room surrounded by bookshelves, a man in a black shirt is sitting in front of a piano.

Outside of a building with wooden facades. The signboard hung on top of the glass entrance says "STEINWAY & SONS."

In a hall enclosed by wooden walls, a man wearing glasses is playing the piano.
He strikes his fingers strongly on the piano keys.

In a room surrounded by bookshelves, Furuya speaks.

The piano music fades out.

Sorita's hands playing the piano. He moves his fingers swiftly and changes his hand position constantly.
In a room surrounded by bookshelves, Furuya speaks with his eyes shining.
In a laboratory, Furuya uses his laptop with a serious look

Blackout.

In a laboratory, Sorita wears a black glove on his right hand.

He also wears an armband-type electronic device around his arm and clenches and unclenches his fist.
The glove is made thin; on its back side, there are U-shaped protruding parts attached between the sheaths for fingers.
Each sheath has an opening and his fingertips (above the first joint) are exposed.
The palm part is made of mesh-like material and there is a hole in the middle.

An exoskeleton-type black robot hand moves automatically. Its movement is the same as that of Sorita's hand wearing the data glove.

An amateur female pianist who volunteered as a research subject wears the exoskeleton. She clenches and unclenches her fist and moves her fingers.

Sorita plays the piano.
The woman's fingers wearing the exoskeleton move automatically in the air in sync with Sorita's finger movement.
Furuya says "This is how Sorita plays Double Thirds Etude."
Sorita plays the piano lightly and looks around.

Furuya is explaining.
The woman makes a big smile as she looks at her fingers being moved by the exoskeleton.
Sorita is interviewed.

Some staff members are attaching some sensors under the piano keyboard taken out from the main body case.

Furuya points at the piano.

Sorita is surprised.

Sorita plays the piano quickly.
A value appears on the monitor placed next to the piano.

Sorita plays the piano again. And looks at the monitor.

The piano is played.

On a monitor, waveforms that undulate in linkage with keystrokes are displayed.
These waveforms are color-coded by keys and flow from right to left over time.

Furuya explains with gestures to Sorita standing in front of the piano. Furuya leans to the right and bends down, and then stretches his body to the left.

Sorita plays the piano in a regular rhythm but fast-paced. Furuya points at the monitor. The monitor displays uniform and high frequency waveforms.

Furuya speaks in a room surrounded by bookshelves.
In a laboratory, Sorita receives an explanation of the waveforms shown on the monitor and plays the piano. He checks the waveforms.

A staff member takes out a white exoskeleton-type robot hand.

Sorita puts his right middle finger and ring finger through the exoskeleton's (next-generation prototype) sheaths and wears an armband-type electronic device around his right arm.
Furuya is explaining next to Sorita.

Sorita sits down in front of the piano again.

Furuya bursts out laughing. Sorita plays a melody.
He stares at the exoskeleton (next-generation prototype).

Sorita plays the piano with his two right fingers put through the exoskeleton's (next-generation prototype) sheaths using two syllables, "C (Do)" and "D (Re)."
The tempo gradually increases.

Sorita puts his right hand on the back of his left hand.
His two right fingers start to move automatically.

Sorita opens his eyes wide in amazement. He checks the feeling of his fingertips again.
A staff member operates a laptop that is cable-connected to the exoskeleton (next-generation prototype). Sorita's fingers move automatically again.

The female research subject wears the exoskeleton (next-generation prototype).
It reproduces Sorita's finger movement that was recorded earlier.
Her two fingers move automatically.
She smiles as her other fingers and arm shakes by reaction.

Sorita moves his fingertips only.

Furuya speaks in a room surrounded by bookshelves.

In a laboratory, the female research subject plays the piano with some small instruments attached to her left hand.
Furuya is folding his arms and watching her from behind.
She nods as Furuya talks to her.
Sorita is interviewed.

Furuya speaks.

An image of a pianist playing the piano in sync with a metronome.
Some of the pianist's left hand fingertips wearing a watch are extended outward.
The right ring finger of another person wearing a black shirt is curled into the palm unnaturally.

A photo of a man playing the piano. He is wearing some electronics on his right arm and right hand as well as on his head.
A photo taken from above a man with two electronic devices strapped to his head with a headband. These electronic devices are sheet-like style. The one on the left is blue and the one on the right is orange.

In a hall enclosed by wooden walls, Sorita is playing the piano.

Furuya speaks in a laboratory.

Sorita's hands are playing the piano. His right hand moves softly, and his left hand moves gracefully.
The female research subject is wearing the exoskeleton on her hand.
She is watching her fingertips moving smoothly with a smile.
Colorful waveforms are displayed on a monitor.
Sorita stares at his hand wearing exoskeleton (next-generation prototype).
In a hall enclosed by wooden walls, Sorita smoothly flies his fingertips over the piano keys.

Blackout.
In a hall enclosed by wooden walls, Sorita is playing the piano with a calm expression. The touch of his fingertips becomes progressively soft, as if he is making a more resonant sound.

In a laboratory, Sorita plays the piano quickly. As the music scale increases higher, the frequency of the waveforms shown on a monitor becomes higher also.

Movie ends with Sony's logo.
