Maestro: The Masterclass is a music-focused virtual reality game released in 2022 for Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3, in which the player takes the role of an orchestra conductor. Using either bare hands or a chopstick as a baton, players learn and perform the authentic hand gestures used to lead a real orchestra. The experience is structured as a conducting masterclass, progressing through instruction and practice before culminating in a full symphonic concert performed before a packed opera house audience. The hands-free control option makes the game accessible without additional accessories, while the chopstick input offers a more tactile, baton-like feel for those seeking a closer approximation of real conducting technique.
