“…Contemporary VV productions offer an array of entertainment value to existing and emergent 3D media practices. Our initial user-focused XR Music Video research showed how users responded to volumetric representations of music performance in VR [24]. This investigation was the starting point for a more sophisticated, interactive music video featuring the Irish rock band New Pagans that applied a user-centered design approach.…”

Volumetric video (VV) is an emergent digital media that enables novel forms of interaction and immersion within eXtended Reality (XR) applications. VV supports 3D representation of real-world scenes and objects to be visualized from any viewpoint or viewing direction; an interaction paradigm that is commonly seen in computer games. This allows for instance to bring real people into XR. Based on this innovative media format, it is possible to design new forms of immersive and interactive experiences that can be visualized via head-mounted displays (HMDs) in virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR). This paper highlights technology for VV content creation developed by the V-SENSE lab and the startup company Volograms. It further showcases a variety of creative experiments applying VV for immersive storytelling in XR.

“…The use of XR technologies in musical activities represents a paradigm shift as they disrupt traditional notions of musical interaction by enabling performers and audiences to interact musically with virtual/augmented objects, agents, and environments. A large variety of musical activities have been investigated using the XR medium: systems have been devised for supporting composition (e.g., [22][23][24]), education (e.g., [25,26]), performance (e.g., [27][28][29]), entertainment (e.g., [30][31][32]), and sound engineering (e.g., [33][34][35][36]. Moreover, various software and hardware tools have been devised to support the development of Musical XR systems (e.g., [37][38][39]39]), along with design and analysis frameworks [41], while different studies have investigated the perception in Musical XR settings (e.g., [42,43]).…”

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 interact through his/her own avatar. Music is one of the possible activities that can be conducted in such a space. The “Musical Metaverse” (MM), 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. However, to the best of the author’s knowledge, as of today an investigation about the opportunities and challenges posed by the MM has not been conducted yet. In this paper, we provide a vision for the MM and discuss what are the opportunities for musical stakeholders offered by current implementations of the MM, as well as we envision those that are likely to occur as the metaverse emerges. We also identify the technical, artistic, ethical, sustainability, and regulatory issues that need to be addressed so for the MM to be created and utilized in efficient, creative, and responsible ways. Given the importance and timeliness of the MM, we believe that a discussion on the related opportunities and concerns is useful to provide developers with guidelines for creating better virtual environments and musical interactions between stakeholders.

“…In distributed live performance environments, audiences and performers experience difficulties in socially interacting with each other; furthermore, performers' attention is required to sense audience engagement [34]. Young et al discovered that the primary cause of the preference for physical performances over VR is "the artist being there, and the public all around," which suggested a necessity for sharing experiences with others in VR [35]. Studies have proposed several methods for enhancing the liveness of VR concerts [36]- [38].…”

Streamers and celebrities are increasingly using virtual avatars as a form of online entertainment; moreover, VTubers and virtual concerts are reporting increasing viewership. Therefore, understanding the unique characteristics, phenomena, and challenges of virtual avatars is an active topic in the HCI community. We extensively investigated a VTuber's concert that was streamed on various viewing platforms and in which fans participated as voluntary creators. We surveyed 1,795 audience members and interviewed 10 voluntary creators to understand their experiences and perspectives. The survey and interview results revealed that both the platform type and perceived role of the VTuber (e.g., idol/streamer) affect the presence and immersion of audiences. We determined that the motivational context for voluntary creation and fan experience considerably influence content creation. Combining the two findings, we discussed the influences of perceived roles, fanwork experience, and viewing platforms on fandom experience. Furthermore, design implications were introduced for a future concert with virtual avatars.
