Abstract :
Mastering rhythm and hand coordination are big challenges in piano learning. This demonstration presents a novel embedded haptic-audio device, which allows a user to enter the rhythm through the keypad, and feel the different rhythm on left hand and right hand simultaneously. Meanwhile it also produces steady beat with clicking sound and blinking LED. This device has the potential to significantly enhance at-home piano practice or online piano learning.
