Techno > Mine Studio > Virtual Piano
We used motion-censing device to develop instruments: Wii Remote combining with infrared LED to become a virtual piano, “Kinect” was used to make virtual guitar, virtual drum and “Virtual King” instrument. By using the devices and human body, we played them as a virtual band without any real instrument.
I was in charge with virtual piano. My senior developed the initial virtual piano, and then I modified it, installed a shelf and added some decorations to make it more suitable to be performed.

- How to make Virtual Piano:
Virtual piano can be considered as a modification of electric whiteboard. We used “Wiimote Whiteboard” to run our modified program written by C#.
We used two infrared pens to play virtual piano. [pic 2]
The signal emits to CMOS camera on Wii Remote [pic 3] and shows on the screen with two different colors. [pic 4]
The modified program determines the location of each signal, and then broadcasts the corresponding sound.
