Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a novel virtual piano system to assist composition, that corrects deviation of a position based on music theory when a user strikes a wrong key. It means that this system estimates a correct melody from deviated fingering due to the non-physical keyboard. When experienced performer comes up with a good melody, his hands usually move by themselves to play it. Our proposed VR piano does not have any physical keyboard; it estimates a correct key when user’s fingering is deviated. Furthermore, if the weight of music theory is adjusted higher than the weight of the user’s fingering position, this system changes to easy-playable VR piano. Even by hitting a key randomly, it will produce an appropriate melody based on music theory by taking a bit of fingering into account.
