A downloadable VR Musical Instrument for Windows

1.31.23 6:18pm EST Quick update: Few bugs fixed, and emission properly enabled on chord buttons.

Description:

This is a musical Virtual Reality prototype I put together for the Coursera VR Specialization coursework, running on Steam VR. Users can play with 21 pitch blocks to build their own chords, or play a musical piece in Db major.

Yellow pitch blocks can be hovered to play their respective pitch, activated to sustain a pitch while not hovering, or turned on in a chord set via the white chord button. The red "Stop" button cuts all sound and deactivates all currently activated blocks.

Use Instructions:

- Touch any yellow block to play a pitch.
- Click trigger button while hovering on a pitch to toggle its sustain.
- Click trigger button while hovering on any white button to toggle a full chord.
- Click trigger button while hovering on Red button to stop playing all sounds.

The arrangement of pitches is (left to right from furthest row to closest row):

 F - Gb - Ab - Bb - C - Db - Eb
C - Db - Eb - F - Gb - Ab - Bb
Ab - Bb - C - Db - Eb - F - Gb
