Aria
Soundcloud, Google Soli
Problem: Many beginner musicians aren’t ready to commit to learning musical instruments because of obstacles such as price and space.
Big Idea: Air powered music. Create a line of virtual instrument that are easily accessible, yet still provide an authentic playing experience through Google Soli and Augmented Reality technology.
Aria brings your air instruments to life with the power of Google Soli technology and Augmented Reality.
Aria is a smart device stand that is integrated with the Google Soli Chip and pairs with the Aria app. Through radar technology, the chip tracks your hand movements in the air and translates them into musical sounds.
Place your smart device on the stand and while using the Aria app you can move your fingers in the air just like you would on a real instrument.
Start your musical journey by learning to play any of Aria’s augmented reality instruments.
Learn from the best musicians in the industry! Follow John Legend’s piano lesson and watch your fingers move along the AR instrument while learning the notes with color-coded feedback.
