PPVR: Teaching and Learning to Play the Piano in Virtual Reality

PPVR is a collaboration system that supports remote piano training in a virtual reality environment with the support of synchronous and asynchronous communication, various viewpoints, and detection of finger pressure. We designed two different user interfaces for the learner and the instructor and provide different viewpoints and scaffolding tools for the learner. We also explored the usage of pressure sensing inVR to enrich the information transmission during the remote piano training. We designed a user study, but were unable to conduct it due to COVID-19.Master of ScienceInformation, School ofUniversity of Michiganhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/162561/1/Wang_Xizi_Final_MTOP_Thesis_20200531.pd
