Investigate the Piano Learning Rate with Haptic Actuators in Mixed Reality.

With mixed reality (MR) becoming widely available, it could enhance learning because special equipment like musical instruments or access to instructors will be less of a concern. Furthermore, passive haptic learning systems to learn piano are promising research subjects. We combine both trends of MR and haptic learning to build a piano learning application. Through a study with diverse participants, we evaluate the piano application. The study results show the potentiality of the on-skin actuators and we hope our work could foster the future iterations of the actuators for a fun and effective learning environment.
