Conductor360 - Controlling Music in a Virtual Reality Environment
Lunchtime Talks
Please note: This event took place in Jan 2016
Lunchtime Talks are a series of informal presentations at Watershed's Pervasive Media Studio. They normally take place at 13:00 on a Friday, are free and are open to everybody who is interested in what they do. Come along, bring a sandwich, and get to know more about the Studio community, current and up-coming projects, or residents' work.
This week Richard Crandon, Director of On Par Productions, will talk about focusing on new ways audiences can experience and interact with Virtual Reality content. On Par Productions joined our network through the REACT Future Documentary Sandbox, and recently exhibited LITTLEARROW360 at The Rooms festival.
CONDUCTOR360 is a VR interactive experience that puts the user in control of a live music performance. The project utilises emerging VR technology using the Samsung Gear to create an experience for the user that is entertaining, playful and provocative. In it audiences are placed in a environment where they have the ability to select, control and manipulate which musicians can be heard. The result is the creation of a unique music score with every individual interaction.
The Pervasive Media Studio is located within the Watershed building. Let us know if you'd like a tour and we'll be happy to show you around. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk
