I put sheet music into smart glasses [video]

One of our users documented projecting sheet music onto his smart glasses's display (with a HUD). He did a great job documenting the limitations of 2025's tech, but it gives a great look into what's going to be feasible next year.

Awesome job Kevin!

cool~

Wow can’t wait for v2!

This project is cool so we're hoping to arrange with Kevin to do a Show HN about it, so stay, er, tuned!

Nice work. From the Github:

> This allows the pianist to not have to turn pages, and more importantly, allows them to see the music and their hands at the same time, which is an unavoidable problem with traditional sheet music.

I could definitely see this being beneficial for beginners. When I lived in a dormitory during uni I often played familiar pieces from memory pretty late on a digital piano (with headphones) in extremely dim lighting so as not to disturb my roommate.

At some point I just stopped having to look down at the keyboard. I play a lot of stride piano as well and that probably conditioned me to just have a sort of musical proprioception for the instrument. And of course, there's numerous examples of unbelievable blind pianists - Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Art Tatum, etc.
