Handpan VR
Handpan VR introduces the unique and immersive experience of playing the hypnotic percussion instrument, the handpan. Thanks to the latest hand tracking technology, Handpan VR allows you to improvise with ethereal sounds coming out of your hands, customize the music with various ambient sounds and beats, and an unlimited number of handpan loops you can record. Whether you are an amateur or a professional handpan player, Handpan VR is a great way to carry this rare, new generation hand hammered steel instrument wherever you are.

For a version 0.1 app, I did not expect to find the variety of ambient sounds or the options that are already there in-game. I LOVE the on-hand menus. It took me some time practicing to figure out how to hit the drum to get different notes/sounds. The hand tracking isn’t perfect but that is Meta’s fault, NOT the Handpan devs. For those of you having trouble playing, please look up “how to play handpan” videos on Youtube. Handpans are not played the same way as a doumbek - you mainly use your index fingers and thumbs on a handpan, while doumbek is played with a flat hand using more fingers. Once I figured that out, I spent way more time playing this 🙂 It’s very much a meditative / flow sort of experience once you get into it, much like making music in real life can be. Looking forward to seeing how this develops and playing along.
