Engineer Creates Piano That Visualizes Every Note You Play as a Burst of Color
- HTX Studio unveils a physical piano that visualizes music as color bursts when keys are played.

- Three years of development and several prototypes preceded the final concept.
- The team experimented with smoke, lasers, vortex rings, and dyed water before finalizing the display.
- The instrument earned the moniker ‘magical piano’ and was showcased with LED lighting around it.
- He Shijie performed ‘Time Travel’ from Secret (2007) to present the finalized visual piano.
