The technology, called Piano AR, allows customers to visualize true-to-life model scaling and detailing for renowned acoustic pianos from Yamaha.

The experience is tailored to each individual user, offering accurate model scaling – saving you the hassle of bringing a tape measurer to a showroom –, realistic shadows and lighting, and even the capability of hearing how the piano would sound (iOS users only).

 

 

Alex Rodas, Piano Marketing Manager, Yamaha Corporation of America, commented: "Previously, customers seeking large pianos were having to physically measure out a space with paper and their imagination. As the need for remote and digital shopping experiences continues, we’re excited to give customers an engaging, informative way to find the perfect fit for their space."

Kawai created a similar AR-based app in 2021.
