PianoCafe, by Plai Technologies, is an innovative mixed-reality app for learning piano. We’ve previously seen mixed reality apps for music like
and
that teach guitar. PianoCafe takes a different approach for beginner users. Using a real piano or keyboard, this forgoes sheet music and mixes music learning by using the keys to serve up ghostly customers.PianoVisionPianoCafe requires a MIDI-compatible piano that you can plug directly into your Quest headset using a USB-B to C cable, allowing for more accurate key detection. Mixed reality turns your play space into a kitchen, using keys to spawn specific food items with hand tracking controls for catching ingredients, ringing the bell and cooking them into meals.ImmerrockGrabbing different aprons puts you into either the tutorial or the main game, and the trailer highlights different difficulty settings with increased revenue. It’s a more gamified approach than we’ve seen in the past, one that aims to help build muscle memory.
PianoCafe is coming to the wider
platform on July 30.
