Nope, synthesia works on a computer keyboard, augmented piano works on a piano. The whole point is that you get to play an instrument and have that rhythm game feeling at the same time. Of course, this should just help with motivating you; it's not to be substituted for traditional methods to learn to play the piano.

Don't buy a $200 guitar or keyboard either.

I have a 7000 euro piano at home. A good instrument certainly motivates to play more. I started out with a cheap keyboard, then went to a second-hand study piano and then bought the 7000 euro piano. Don't invest in something like that until you have reached a certain level and are relatively certain you'll be playing for a long time to come. (Sadly, since I'm doing my PhD abroad, I have to make do with a digital piano, which, even though it's not a bad one, can never live up to the real thing)
