You could be forgiven for thinking that virtual reality is a
gimmick, the preserve of the nerdy gamer or the techie that must have
everything.
Its uses are far-reaching, however, as the incredible video below shows.
In Eye Play the Piano, a young disabled boy wears a VR headset to play the piano using only his eyes.
The headset – a collaboration of Japanese manufacturer Fove and the
University of Tsukuba – tracks the eye movement of its wearers, who
blink on panels within the interface to trigger a preferred note. The
note is then sent to the piano.
The video shows a student play the piano for the December 2014
Christmas concert at the University of Tsukuba’s Special Needs Education
School for the Physically Challenged after only four months of
practice.
Enjoy the video below....
