Augmented Reality Visualization for Musical Instrument Learning
This work addresses the challenge of musical instrument learning for students, but it is incremental as it builds on existing AR visualization methods without introducing major innovations.
The paper tackled the problem of learning musical instruments by designing augmented reality visualizations for drum kits and guitars, demonstrating general effectiveness through case studies while identifying design and technical limitations.
We contribute two design studies for augmented reality visualizations that support learning musical instruments. First, we designed simple, glanceable encodings for drum kits, which we display through a projector. As second instrument, we chose guitar and designed visualizations to be displayed either on a screen as an augmented mirror or as an optical see-through AR headset. These modalities allow us to also show information around the instrument and in 3D. We evaluated our prototypes through case studies and our results demonstrate the general effectivity and revealed design-related and technical limitations.
