We are a team of students of Electrical Engineering at the University of Udine.
Our virtual piano is the result of a project we have developed during the course Didactic Laboratory of Information Engineering, taught by Prof. Riccardo Bernardini.

What is it?

The virtual piano is a fake, drawn keyboard, without real keys or hammers. To play it, you move across the keyboard a sound source that emits ultrasounds, which are detected by a special receiver fixed next to the keyboard. From the time of flight of the sound wave, we estimate the distance between transmitter and receiver, determining the position of the transmitter itself and generating the note related to the corresponding key.
