Spreading the Love of Classical Music Through Virtual Reality
PlayStation VR made a Joshua Bell VR experience for music lovers and tech enthusiasts. Owners must use a VR headset and any pair of headphones to indulge in the full experience. Once set up, the app takes users to the Lyndhurst hall in London. There, Bell performs the Hungarian Dance No. 1 by Brahms, along with pianist Sam Haywood.
Developers leveraged binaural audio processing technology, as well as directional surround sound to make everything come to life. In other words, users will hear the sound in exquisite detail the closer they move to Bell. If they step back, they will experience the hall’s natural reverb.
Owners of a PlayStation headset can download the VR experience for free.
How VR Is Transforming Classical Music
Another up and coming VR application is the Four Strings Around the World project. Featuring Romanian violinist, Irina Muresanu, the app takes its audience around the world as she plays beautiful melodies with her violin.
Through the app, users can have a one-on-one lesson with Muresanu. They can see and observe the movement of her hands and her bow arms in great detail.
