Here’s a visualization of what rhythm games/music trainers of the future might look like:
There’s currently a trainer/game for midi keyboards called Synthesia that is already similar. What we have here though is visualization of integration of an augmented reality heads-up display for the “piano roll” style of note scrolling. Bemani’s Keyboardmania is also very similar – it would be interesting to see if any Keyboardmania players picked up real piano skills, but my money’s on the fact that most players of that game probably had some previous piano instruction to begin with (look it’s an Asian thing ok).
I’m not sure if the guitar/bass visualization would necessarily work without a wider fretboard that could be projected above the real fretboard for note comprehension. Additionally, the bars might benefit from having numbers to reinforce which fret needs to be fretted. Also, this method does not address what bends, pinch harmonics, or other more advanced guitar techniques would look like. If we’re working in 3d space, a bend might be represented by the note “widening” as it goes into the fretboard, but it would be difficult to convey exactly how far the bend needs to go.
Drums face the problem of a single plane of reference for where the downbeat is. This visualization is admittedly almost unusable as a training technique, but golly it sure looks cool.
Production on this video was pretty basic – just shot some plates from a rough POV perspective of me running through the various instruments of the song. Then, in Photoshop, I created a super long image for Brandon to lay in for the correct notes. The song is composed very specifically in such a way to minimize a lot of work in the post production (guitar solo basically sticks to one note, e.g.). Post wise, it’s simply a matter of matching the notes with the plate, where I played along to the song.

Are the instruments’ glows actually tracking the instruments’ silhouettes, or are they just blurry images in the shape of the instruments that are tracking the movement of the instruments?
