An Augmented Reality Piano Learning Tool

Abstract

Music learning (here, thinking of playing piano) without professor can be a real challenge. This can be difficult to achieve, given some traditional approaches to manage this process are still insufficiently satisfactory. Beyond the wellknown computer-assisted music learning tools (1) screenbased and (2) hardware-based, a promising solution for piano learning is based on augmented reality (AR). This technology provides an ideal environment for the student, but of course, it is not enough to become a career musician. In this paper, we propose an application that helps all those who want to learn to play the piano in a friendly way, starting with understanding sheet music. By projecting information onto the instrument, our AR system can create more direct interactions for the user.

Meowgical AR – A Game based on Augmented Reality

“…Augmented Reality (AR) creates new immersive experiences for entertainment, games, and educational applications [1][2][3][4][5]. In recent decades AR technology has evolved and grown in popularity, it being present in more and more applications, which can be seen in the popularity of filters on social media applications (Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat), the emergence of many games that combine the fantastic with the real like Pokemon GO and in the creation of devices that can be used in everyday life, such as Project Aria 1 .…”
