The Roli Airwave Is Both an AI Piano Teacher and a Digital Theremin
The Roli Airwave uses infrared cameras to track your hand movements on a keyboard. That visual data can be used to teach you how to play a song or to compose entirely new sonic creations.
Roli, the maker of quirky, portable, and expressive digital pianos and keyboard instruments, has a new device that can both teach budding pianists how to play music and provide seasoned musicians with a new way of adding filters and effects to their songs by waving their hands and wiggling their fingers. The company also makes the light-up Piano M keyboard (formerly called Lumi Keys), which is focused on music learners and which incorporates the Roli Learn platform to teach people how to play.
