Meanwhile you can MIDI -Connect keyboards directly to the quest
, provided you have the right USB cable ready (usually USB-B to USB-C ). Until now, it had to be connected to a PC via cable, which made wireless contact with the quest – which, by the way, is still possible. If you don’t have a keyboard, you can simply create a virtual one, which is displayed in the image using augmented reality or mixed reality.
In addition, sheet music can now be displayed or generated on request. Previously, players had to rely on the button symbols rushing into the picture from above – similar to a music game like Guitar Hero.
The app is also becoming more social: In the new “VR Music Hall “ several pianists may play music together online
– or listen to the sounds of the others in the audience. On his Twitter account, developer Zac Reid explains numerous other details that have been added.

Anyone who knows Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Rocksmith and similar music games understands Pianovision’s notation system direct: The app recognizes piano keys via the external cameras of the Quest 2 and displays virtual notes that fly towards these keys from the front. When the virtual note reaches the key, that’s the right moment to hit it. The length of the block conveys how long you should hold the note.
