Immerrock Guitar Training Hands-On: Slightly Off Tune
- Immerrock is a mixed reality guitar training game for Meta Quest, aimed at helping users learn to play guitar through a gamified experience.
- The app offers 100+ exercises and lessons tailored for players of all levels, using the VR headset's passthrough cameras to show real-world guitar, hands, and environment.
- Immerrock is compared to an educational Guitar Hero but is criticized for being less exciting, featuring public domain tunes and lacking precision in hand tracking.
- The 'note highway' in Immerrock displays colored bars representing notes, requiring players to place fingers on strings and frets in time with the music.
- While Immerrock provides tools for learning, the disconnect between visuals and physical sensations makes developing muscle memory challenging.
- Playing Immerrock can be uncomfortable due to the weight of the VR headset, causing neck and spine strain and hindering the flow state usually attained while practicing guitar.
- The game is customizable, yet despite efforts, users find it challenging to feel comfortable and achieve the desired level of immersion.
- Immerrock's concept is praised, but its current technological limitations prevent seamless integration for effective guitar training.
- Flatscreen apps like Gibson's App or Fender Play on tablets are preferred for beginners due to stability, precision, and comfort over VR/MR training like Immerrock.
- Immerrock is available for $11.99 in early access on the Meta Quest store, offering a unique but imperfect approach to guitar training in the virtual realm.
