PianoVision is an augmented reality piano teaching app for Meta Quest VR headsets. The app works with Quest 2 and Quest 3 headsets (standalone headsets that don’t need to be connected to a computer). PianoVision has a host of augmented reality features, but perhaps the most outstanding is that you don’t need a piano or keyboard to play. The app can project a virtual keyboard onto any surface (including a ‘real-life’ piano or keyboard if you wish). As you play, you see colourful blocks (notes) descending onto the keyboard and lighting up the keys. The app pauses until you have played the correct note before letting you progress. There are 1400 songs and exercises, and you can upload MIDI files or sheet music. You can record your performances, and multiplayer options enable you to play duets with others anywhere in the world.
