alforno 0 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Hi would it be possible to play a real (physical) grand piano, i.e. see the whole keyboard and at the same time be in a VR environment. Has this been done? Link to post Share on other sites
HackPerception 222 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 @alforno - It's technically possible but the technology is not fully there yet. There is a sidequest app called VRtous that demos the idea but at the end of the day handtracking technology isn't fully baked right now and there's a limit on how much precision you can get. In another generation or two - pass through and hand tracking will be good enough for this to work really well. Link to post Share on other sites
alforno 0 Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Thank you VibrantNebula, but what I meant is much simpler. I would just need a camera showing me the real piano keys with my real hands at the same time as creating the virtual space around it, no tracking of hands necessary. In a way just like augmented reality where I have part of my real environment plus the VR. Link to post Share on other sites
HackPerception 222 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 @alforno Like this? This is an overlay application that lets you create pass through frames into any SteamVR app. https://store.steampowered.com/app/864790/FragmentVR/ Link to post Share on other sites

Eric11101992 0 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 That's awesome. The next level would be a haptic feedback glove, so you can practice without a piano :) Link to post Share on other sites
