Description

‘Tunemate’ is an interactive modular product designed for young piano learners, offering an innovative piano practice experience. The design remains integrated with the physical piano and aims to increase practice motivation through a level system. By incorporating a modular design, ‘Tunemate’ enhanced engagement and playability, allowing users to customize their learning journey. One of ‘Tunemate’s’ key features is its two modes: Solo and Matching Mode. In matching mode, players can be connected remotely, fostering collaborative music-making experiences that transcend physical boundaries. In solo practice mode, ‘Tunemate’ uses an embedded hand motion capture camera to provide real-time feedback and correction, allowing users to effectively refine their technique.
