HoloKeys - An Augmented Reality Application for Learning the Piano

Type: journal article

Authors: Dominik Hackl, Christoph Anthes

Abstract
This paper describes the design and the implementation approach of a piano training application. HoloKeys is an Augmented Reality tool which is capable to superimpose the keys to be played on a real piano. Musical pieces are loaded as MIDI files, interpreted and can be displayed in two different ways. This prototype provides many possibilities for extension which can make it a powerful teaching tool.
