Playing VR Piano with AR on Oculus Quest 2 is AWESOME

Hey can you post a video on how to get gorilla tag mods with android phone

[@addisonchan5994]

Loved your video! Can I use VRTuos if my keyboard is a 2-step keyboard setup?

[@illusion_monke1148]

@@Gina-eo8kp not possible, it needs java which can only be downloaded on pc

[@cledwardd]

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!

[@blitzkreig4887]

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

[@inceptional]

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.

[@CasandChary]

It’s inevitable! Can’t wait 🙌

[@MissOdango]

Just wait for fb connect 👀 oculus pro is rumored to have color passthrough

[@TheCgOrion]

It's available already on professional/business VR headsets.

[@brykanst9071]

@@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.

[@CasandChary]

Exactly! There are some games that have taught me a lot ❤️

[@chimoji608]

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

[@CasandChary]

I agee! It’d be nice for beginners at least

[@ThePieGuy7302]

Pass through unfortunately has no color so this is impossible

[@chimoji608]

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

[@goozebump]

@@chimoji608 💯

[@user-ic2km6mn4h]

Yeah. I've tried it and it's kinda harder than anticipated for now.

[@DragonsTooth]

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 😊👌

[@harrifongostudios]

The cutest couple on KZbin! Been disillusioned with playing piano, and my new passion is VR. This looks like a good way to get back into 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.

[@CasandChary]

You should go for it again Tiff!

[@Datrebor]

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.

[@Incriminified]

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.

[@chuckstang]

Thank you for posting this. What a great way this would be to learn music theory.

[@dancinspace]

This looks great, thanks for reviewing it!

[@gratitudesgift5809]

Thank you Cas and Chary

[@NexVice]

This is amazing!!!

[@FrazerKirkman]

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 :)

[@KnightMD]

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.

[@djp1234]

This is really cool and really useful for learning piano.

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. 👍

[@DenisRyan]

This is astonishing. Thank you for sharing! Wonderful video!

[@duncank7440]

Wow, awesome technology, thanks for sharing. I'm excited!

[@Empirism]

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 :)

[@squaresphere]

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.

[@dsaraf777]

Nice review can't wait to see the improvements on this thank you

[@KindOldRaven]

Got myself a Quest 2 and will be trying out things like this ASAP. This is awesome!

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.

[@pointmutationVR]

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!!

[@texasgreentea1]

This is sweet! If the developer starts color-coding the changes and keys, it'll quickly become the best way to learn piano ever.

[@HULKReality.3064]

vary good job both of you.

[@jbr600]

Looks like it could be a lot of fun😃

[@therealarien]

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.

[@AxeDragon1989]

Damn that's actually amazing!

[@KyleReaume]

Honestly thats so impressive, I just my try it out. Thanks!!

[@joeejdjjdrhfj4160]

This is cool

[@flak6487]

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 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

[@WhyplayGaming]

I love this I'm gonna try this and see if I can learn I used too play a bit when I was a child but I feel like 8 have forgotten everything since then

[@vrtuos]

Great video! I'm happy to see you enjoy the app and have a good time practicing songs. Thanks ❤

[@damonhtoo]

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.

[@donut132]

can you make easy songs for beginners? my 6 year old is in piano lessons and id love to have easy songs for her to try.

[@terrenceoon4056]

Improve a lot, but still a huge space of improvement to go. Highly exciting about this thing.

[@kidweird]

This could be really awesome for learning to play an instument, im honest really excited that this is a thing

[@FrazerKirkman]

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

[@Drason95]

amazing

[@NoToxido]

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...

[@iamlandman]

Family friendly channel. Hahaha! Subbed

[@Gubby-Man]

This is awesome. Now I just need to buy a piano 😝

[@Lorten369]

[@andycondal286]

[@Nahkampfschaf]

Allright, this would actually be my clue to buy an oculus quest or another VR headset some time. This is what i waited for for practicing piano.

[@VashtaNerada8]

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.

[@GG24-c1u]

OMG Zanarkaaaandd! That's a classic! BUT. My favorite is still "Wind Crest - The Three Trails" from X-2

[@theprophet2444]

lighting up the keys would be insane, color pass through is coming to the next quest so this will be quite interesting in the future.

[@lalystar4230]

Looks like a fun app to learn piano or new songs with!

[@shirleycastle5170]

This is very interesting

[@sir_micho]

I already use Paradiddle to learn drumming and maybe I'll try piano next time. This looks really good. VR is just amazing.

[@myamarcial1633]

y'all need to do this again on quest pro or 3!

[@simonialei9020]

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.

[@lpja2326]

That's amazing ! I play guitar but would love to play piano too, I'm going to try to play November Rain ! LOL

[@BranVR]

The addition of To Zanarkand made me happy :D

[@rogiervk1]

hahah this looks so fun, i can hear you guys are dutchies btw 🤣👍

[@k1ng401]

Your pass through looks very clear in the video. Mine is very “snowy” in real life

[@Racife]

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.

[@TheLordAnhus]

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

[@damonhtoo]

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.

[@wraith8323]

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 :)

[@CasandChary]

She’s always in my party 😙

[@bjohn55]

Looks helpful. I hope they add an overlay to the keys to show the letters on the keys themselves, like your actual piano does.

[@improinthejungle6361]

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.

[@StantonEast]

YES I KNOW THE SONG!

[@ernestol.2417]

That's amazing! Thanks for video. I think it would be amazing for someone who has some basic playing skills and wanting to explore new songs for fun. One concern for me would the posture while playing, because you have to keep the head down which is likely to cause ..... err , pain-in-the-neck. (pardon the pun). I am also curious to see if they could develop this for violin? front tracking, but left hand would be tricky.
