Concurrent Feedback VR Rhythmic Coordination Training

Action Observation VR tools have had observable success in teaching a wide variety of skills. The authors' previous development includes a first-person VR tool designed for users to learn drumming exercises and improve rhythm via HMD. This contribution is an extension that implements concurrent feedback and multimodal cues to further immerse users in a coherent experience. Another virtual scene is included to hdp users improve their polyrhythms, a historically challenging musical concept to learn through traditional methods. The aim of this work is to use synchronized multimodal techniques with realtime feedback capabilities to develop a new drumming practice tool and to devise a potentially more effective, method to practice polyrhythms.
