Learning how to play the piano is something we’re sure you’ve been meaning to do at some point in your life as there’s nothing more classy than being able to tickle the ole ivories at a dinner party. Finding both the time and money to learn how to play the piano is something we’re sure many of you haven’t been able to do, but now that there’s a projector system that takes the guesswork out of playing the piano, we’re sure you won’t have to worry about actually learning how to play ever.
The Projected Instrument Augmentation system was developed by musicians and researchers at the University of Ulm in Germany. The way it works is it projects a series of blocks to indicate what key needs to be pressed next.
