Social concert experiences thanks to virtual reality
Chemnitz University of Technology is working with partners to develop a social virtual reality (VR) application for experiencing concerts and theater performances together, away from TV and live streams.
Virtual reality (VR) is now set to bring the experience of live cultural shows from the stage to the home for the first time. A project consortium is currently developing a VR application that transmits stage content live and three-dimensionally into virtual event spaces that can be visited by interested people as avatars.
In addition to Chemnitz University of Technology, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS from Erlangen, Die Etagen GmbH from Osnabrück, YOUSE GmbH Berlin and point omega AG from Heidelberg are also involved in the research project.
