My former teacher once played in a concert where everybody was given a "digital music stand", a kind of laptop, and page-truning was managed using a foot-pedal.
This was 5-8 years ago. It worked in principle, but the page-turning sometimes didn't work right away and if you pressed the pedal twice it suddenly jumped over a page...

And what happens if the music stand falls over? Could be expensive...^^

I think this COULD work really well, but it'll need to be very bug-free before it becomes realistic to use this in the orchestra...I know what i'm talking about for a change...
