I've heard that footmice and other attempts at trying to get one's
feet to convey spatial information failed out the wazoo.  However, ask
a keyboard player or a rock guitarist how much control one has over
sets of footpedals...  It's not the same as driving, but driving does
demonstrate to non-musicians that good control is possible.
