1st International Meeting of the Musical Metaverse
Ever dreamed of being more musical?
Well alright... Hold tight!
The so-called Metaverse relates to a vision of a virtual, digital world which is parallel to the real, physical world, where each user owns and interacts through his/her own avatar. Music is one of the possible activities that can be conducted in such a space.
The “Musical Metaverse”, the metaverse part which is dedicated to musical activities, is currently in its infancy, although is a concept that is constantly evolving and is progressing at a steady pace. The Musical Metaverse is an emerging topic in communications as well as in human-computer interaction. To date, scarce research has been conducted on how to integrate networking systems with Musical XR systems.
The exhibition will feature a series of interactive installations, hands-on demonstrations and talks.
Located at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS in the city of Erlangen, Germany.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together academics and industry to investigate and advance the development of systems at the confluence of Musical XR and networking, as well as the understanding of human perception in immersive, networked contexts.
