Fall 2016
Can augmented reality be used to help instructors teach, and students learn, to play a musical instrument? Music Everywhere is a team at Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center. Our project will leverage the strengths of AR technology and the MIDI protocol to build a prototype that will help overcome some of the barriers to successful and satisfying musical learning by engaging guests, demonstrating essential musical concepts, providing interactive exercises and guiding learners through introductory-level repertoire. A significant emphasis will be placed on optimizing the user experience for the greatest potential, applicable and transferable musical learning. Our work will occur primarily between September and December 2016.
