I will definitely use this! I always have my phone set up on my piano running a synthesia tutorial when I want to learn a new song. This is essentially the same thing, but a lot more immersive and fun. Thank you for making this video and sharing the experiences you've had with this program!
Hi Cas and Chary, sorry to bother you but I have one small inquiry. Have you tried this with Meta Quest Pro ? I am a developer who is working on applications that allow individuals to learn skills. Would appreciate if you could share your experience if you have done so. Thanks
When they get proper full colour, high resolution, high quality passthrough with no distortion, this stuff is gonna be so cool to use for learning just like this.
@@TheCgOrion was just going to say it 100% is already a thing just the best headset for it is $5,495.00 with a yearly subscription that you need that is like an extra 1500
Now, in addition to impressing your friends with a suspiciously strong table tennis game, you can play a song or two on the piano... The people who get into the games that give you real life skills are going to have a hobby-level knowledge of the real thing in the real world as a bonus. A little bit like how a lot of people got semi good at drumming by playing Rock Band a lot. Love when games give us real world skills.

I think they should make it so that the notes itself becomes the colour on a low opacity when you have to press it. That might make it easier to see which key you press
Uhhmm well passthrough has no color no... but ofcourse they can do it XD they can just put a see-through key shaped AR colour over it :p since they know the location of the keys. Just like the AR in front of the keys

Aside from everything else I think it could be a wonderful confidence builder for new piano players. It seems to quite quickly communicate to the novice the idea that they are capable and that skills are achievable and within their grasp. I love it 😊👌

This is really cool. I took years of piano lessons as a kid but haven't played in quite a while. I can see this being very useful for getting back into playing again.

The part with the piano keys not being clearly visible might actually be a good thing. As was mentioned, you learn what keys are where and you automatize your finger placement. So seeing your piano keys is more or less to be used like a quick peek at your key-points (Hehe, no phun intended tho) during a presentation. Hoping to test this out later this week. My best friend plays a bit of piano, her daughter knows the basics and her mom played the piano properly. And then there is me, who doesn't know a single note on any instrument...
This is so neat. I've always wanted to learn to play the piano. I've tried several different videos books to learn but became frustrated with that. This looks like it would be fun like playing a game instead.
I am a piano player and I very like where VR tech is going. But especially for beginners, I would recommend taking piano lessons with a good teacher! At least for the first 2-3 years to really get the basics down, like reading notes and developing a feeling for correct hand placement. A good teacher is always by your side, will teach you how to play right and will highly boost your progress. I can imagine learning the piano as an adult is difficult, and at some lessons as a kid I was in tears too, but I think a good comparison is skateboarding. It's a longtime sport and you can never stop learning. If you have the *patience* and especially the *will* to learn it, you *will* learn it and you will progress by time. Today, my passion is improvising and composing on the piano and after 13 years, I'm still learning. I wish you a good journey 🙏🏻
Very exciting application of AR. Definitely going to give this a try. Looks like something that has been in development over time and the tech is catching up to it.
OMG. Thank you for making this awesome video! My wife brought her keyboard and we have a Quest 2. I'm soooo happy they added AR support it looks incredible. I agree it's such a bummer that they don't highlight the key that will be pressed but you seem to be guessing the right one 80% of the time. Amazing.
I am always so excited, when experienced players struggle, when they got to play something on very slow than normal speed. Im pretty sure, that playing was more "muscular memory" than help from AR. Anyway, fun video :)
A couple days back i finally decided to give the VR another try, as my new phone isn't compatible with the Gear VR that i had been using. I just ordered the 256gb Quest 2 and have learnt a lot from your videos. I just subscribed so that i can keep up to date with all things related to VR. 👍
This is definitely a cool and engaging way to play the piano. I do feel that this platform could be improved by actually having the sheet music as well. That way you could learn to read notes and still be able to play the piano without the headset especially wearing the headset for prolong periods of time does give headaches.
excellent timing. I was just speaking with a freind about this over the weekend. One thing I think these apps need to work on is building the fundamentals. Without basic hand placement and fingering skills (giggity) you will be struggling to get better
I don't know if you have managed to solve this, but could it be that you have to make the area brighter? It sounds like it could be camera noise due to insufficient light.
to zanarkand was one of the first piano songs i learned. I was only able to recite about 1/3 of the whole song, but tidus and auron/s story hit home given that i identify as an ancient ghost, transported through time by sin.
I highly suggest "Gamefiing" this idea ... Like you demonstrated with the note scale option: Speed things up. Point system for how far along you get. Give it some timing bonuses on note hits. That software would then be there for something even better. But maybe you are already that far along in your planing :)
Funny we got an electric piano last year trying to pass time in lockdown, then things got better and we didn't touch the piano in a while, now u posted this and I wanted to play again, only to find out the cable has been destroyed by my very cute bunnies
This is very cool. Suggestions: Get rid of the note names and use finger numbers. Also, color the notes and the person's fingers so that you play the correct note with the correct finger and have a transparent hand that shows where your hand should be. Correct hand and finger placement never seems to be taught correctly or at all!
Wow, this is amazing! Might just inspire me to learn the piano. And now I will forever want to pronounce "MIDI" as "My-Dye." Love it. Great video, as always. Thanks!
I just tried the regular version of vrtuos yesterday and the hand tracking was off putting, but this looks like it will be much better! Excited to try it out
I've tried both and this version is *so* much better than the hand tracking version. Make sure you connect your keyboard to the app to unlock the "learn" mode too.
I think they may have missed that you can unlock the learn and scored modes which is like half the value proposition IMO. The app should better explain to users how and why to connect their keyboard because connected keyboard with passthrough is fantastic.
I had this vision of you taking out Chary in a Final Fantasy style boss battle for control of the channel lol. Been a fan for a while but never saw her, she's awesome too :)
If they even manage to get the ap to highlight in which key you need to place your finger before you play it, this will become the next BeatSaber for harcore music VR. I gurantee it!
Human eyes are not designed to focus on both hands, so it'd be easier to read the score than wide-spread running notes. It'd be good for practicing one hand at a time though, and then the animation would be just a reminder.
So i love it. I had to calibrate the keyboard a few times, and line it up so it felt good for me, and i would like it if the whole key lit up, not just the end of the key (and nothing lights up for the sharp keys) But it was wonderful how quickly i could be playing parts of very complex music. I'll have to upload some simpler songs, then i think i will really see the magic. Again, thank you very much
Thanks for your help with setting up the app! I was having trouble getting the passthrough to work but I realized the setting you switch on in Sidequest goes to OFF everytime you reset or turn off the headset! So just means you have to plug into SQ everytime you want to use it. But yeah it's way better than the janky 3D hands. It's still hard to see your actual hands though, and I suggested to the devs that the keys slowly fade up their glow just before the note so you know it's coming out the corner of your eye, instead of scrambling to get there. It's so much easier to hit the note once it's already lit up so I just wait half a second with my timing. It's in its early stages but man, this is the future for sure! Augmented reality is definitely going to be a big thing this decade.
If heartbeat and eye tracking are added the system could attempt to infer the mental state of the player and automatically adjust the speed, duration, etc of the players fingers. 1 headset for solo. 2 or more could be connected to share the inferred mental states between other players. Feel free to imagine other uses and add in more "that's what she said" statements (or alternatives appropriate to the scenario).
Thanks for the video! I have the app and tried the non AR version and I had a difficult time since I couldn’t see my hands. I can’t wait to try this version.
I don't play piano but this makes me want to buy a keyboard and learn. I would love to see an AR app like this that works with guitars, drums and other instruments as well!
You mentioned the pass through needing improved but have you sat and really looked at the unit and seen the position of the tracking cameras and the angles ? Really shows how much more peripheral‘s the cameras actually Have and can be utilized. The headset displays so good that without knowing otherwise I woulda guessed there were cameras in front of my eyes. I ofcourse agree and know exactly what you mean about needing improvement but I would still love to tell Oculus WOW awesome work with the available stitching processor at that price at that time
Thanks for sharing. There seems to be a few others that are developing piano apps and I agree you need to have a bit of experience to start actually learning rather than just rote memorization.
As a traditional trained piano player (not professional by any means), this seems to be really interesting and I can see it being used to inspire beginners! But I am also a little bit concerned, since this could lead beginners to bad habit and prevent them from progress further
Thanks so much Cas. I saw your first video about VRtuos so long ago, but for some reason hesitated to set up side quest. This video really gave me the motivation to do it, and I have have VRtuos passthrough installing now. Thanks. I'll let you know what I think once I've practiced a few songs :)
I tried it once before and I had a hard time using it due to the hand tracking occasionally losing my hand causing me to miss hit keys. I tried it again this time with the AR and it is a very big improvement. The only issue I can see is depending on the level of light in your room. Too bright and you may not be able to distinguish the keys on the keyboard. The fact that I can see my hands does help with this so I think with a bit of practice and muscle memory it shouldn't be that big of an issue.
Thanks for the update vid. I thought the previous (non-passthrough) version was pretty cool, but thought ultimately too difficult without seeing my keyboard or hands. This passthrough version is awesome though. I can finally finish learning Fur Elise!!
First, Congrats to Verstappen ! Second, Chary I never knew you could play the piano ! what a turn on. And that does look like an awesome way to learn if you are tone deaf and have a good memory. I'd imagine if you can already play the piano well (Chary) then the VR would be a distraction.
that's weird.. your passthrough video/image looks a lot clearer/nicer than mine.. at my quest 2 it looks like I'm drunk.. with weird distortions, which I thought were just because of 4 cameras sampling into one picture..but yours is so nice o_O

If this were available when I was a kid I would have stuck with learning piano. Basically rock band for piano.
Never too late 😉
There's something Rock Band. I think it was called Rocksmith. You used a real electric guitar with a video game. Pretty cool.
You wouldn't, there's probably other issues at play or you just didn't like it as much in the first place.

Just tried it and works really good. Its not perfect, but if you take your time to calibrate your piano it really works.
This is sweet! If the developer starts color-coding the changes and keys, it'll quickly become the best way to learn piano ever.
Those piano tunes took me all the way back to the DevKit 1 demo 'Red Frame'
Very exciting application of AR. Definitely going to give this a try. Looks like something that has been in development over time and the tech is catching up to it.
It's super awesome to see AR being applied to the Quest. For sure better pass through quality is going to be key for people to really catch on.

This is actually bizarrely good, I like it. I would definitely try this.
It's so nice to see you two together on the channel
The addition of To Zanarkand made me happy :D
This is really cool and really useful for learning piano.
Your pass through looks very clear in the video. Mine is very “snowy” in real life
I don't know if you have managed to solve this, but could it be that you have to make the area brighter?
It sounds like it could be camera noise due to insufficient light.
I would finally be able to learn all the Final Fantasy pieces on piano. Nice!!
i love it i've been playing for 5 years but still trash and missed the 1st vid thanks for showing tutorial at the end too
I gave up learning the piano, and now using this app it is going really well! Thank you so much for sharing how to download :)
Hearing To Zanarkand made me cry man that was awesome
I just discovered this the other night and I am so excited by this app!!!
Zanarkand, I captures the feelings of exhaustion, heartbreak. I remember that.
the sweet charry on top. cas im sure you'll learn it soon
to zanarkand was one of the first piano songs i learned. I was only able to recite about 1/3 of the whole song, but tidus and auron/s story hit home given that i identify as an ancient ghost, transported through time by sin.
Wow, awesome technology, thanks for sharing. I'm excited!
OMG Zanarkaaaandd! That's a classic! BUT. My favorite is still "Wind Crest - The Three Trails" from X-2
oh fantastic! Ive been waiting for the AR update, as it was only a short while they opened up the passthrough API to devs
I highly suggest "Gamefiing" this idea ... Like you demonstrated with the note scale option: Speed things up.
Point system for how far along you get.
Give it some timing bonuses on note hits.

And then on 6:55 she says "nice and slow, the way I like it" 😂 You have to love those jokes tho

Really like this app! Haven’t tried it yet, but with the new pass through feature, I’ll definitely give it a shot! Thank you!
Hay guys great to see you looking so well, Today I feel like a tampon, in a good place at the wrong time! 😋
I think I'll give this one a try. Nice video.
Thanks so much Cas. I saw your first video about VRtuos so long ago, but for some reason hesitated to set up side quest. This video really gave me the motivation to do it, and I have have VRtuos passthrough installing now. Thanks. I'll let you know what I think once I've practiced a few songs :)
Zanarkend is my favorite song to play in the piano, Matter of fact oh I started playing because of Zanarkend.
you guys are the cutest! love your videos and definitely want to check this out
Awww...such a fun way to learn. Now I just need to buy a piano 😖😂🤭
$80-$100 gets you a cheap 61 key midi keyboard on amazon. Totally worth it for this app. It's crazy fun.
Zanarkand is beautiful. But that's the first time I've heard it being played too slowly xD
8:43 nice Elf ears Cas :D
LMAO! I didn’t notice until now. So funny 😂
I tried it once before and I had a hard time using it due to the hand tracking occasionally losing my hand causing me to miss hit keys. I tried it again this time with the AR and it is a very big improvement. The only issue I can see is depending on the level of light in your room. Too bright and you may not be able to distinguish the keys on the keyboard. The fact that I can see my hands does help with this so I think with a bit of practice and muscle memory it shouldn't be that big of an issue.
Thanks for the update vid. I thought the previous (non-passthrough) version was pretty cool, but thought ultimately too difficult without seeing my keyboard or hands. This passthrough version is awesome though. I can finally finish learning Fur Elise!!
Dit vind ik oprecht heel leuk, de video was interessant ook
Looks like it could be a lot of fun😃
First, Congrats to Verstappen ! Second, Chary I never knew you could play the piano ! what a turn on. And that does look like an awesome way to learn if you are tone deaf and have a good memory. I'd imagine if you can already play the piano well (Chary) then the VR would be a distraction.
I already use Paradiddle to learn drumming and maybe I'll try piano next time. This looks really good. VR is just amazing.
This is insane!!!!!! 🤯
YES I KNOW THE SONG!
This looks great, thanks for reviewing it!
I would like to see the keyboard light up too so it would be easier & you would know where you're at before or after the next move
that's weird.. your passthrough video/image looks a lot clearer/nicer than mine..
at my quest 2 it looks like I'm drunk.. with weird distortions, which I thought were just because of 4 cameras sampling into one picture..but yours is so nice o_O
FFX for the win!!!!!.
love so many of the songs from that game.
Cas, you did great! I think this is really amazing:)
