Piano

Piano is a free piano simulation from VR EAH, published by Andreas Hoffmann VR EAH. You play the keys of a virtual piano with your bare hands through hand tracking; controllers are not listed as an input. It was released on the Meta Horizon Store on March 20, 2023.

How it plays

You start in a small apartment with a simple room sound, which is free. Other apartments cost extra, and each has its own acoustics, ranging from a warm, close-sounding loft to a large villa with a lot of reverb. Buy three of them and you unlock a bonus passthrough scene, where the piano appears in your real room.

• One free apartment, with more sold as in-app purchases.
• Ten electric piano sounds, also sold as in-app purchases.
• A volume control so you can play quietly or loud.
• A passthrough scene as a bonus after three apartment purchases.

The store page does not mention lessons, sheet music, song learning or recording, so think of Piano as an instrument to play freely rather than a piano course. How well it works will depend a lot on how accurately your headset tracks your fingers.

Comfort

Meta rates Piano as comfortable for most people. It supports seated and standing play, and hand tracking is the only input.
