R&D Partnerships
The Extended (Augmented-Virtual-Mixed) Reality – XR is bound to play a fundamental role in the future of the music creation ecosystem and is also of great relevance for the future of live events streaming. For instance, at the forefront of music innovation, the conception of new music genres and new musical arrangements are strongly linked to spatial perceptions and performers (singers in a video-clip, dancers in a show, actors in a movie, etc.) movements/interactions from a 3-D perspective.
In fact, the XR is already revolutionizing artistic collaboration, education and training. The immersive user experience provided by XR systems represents a worthy and engaging alternative for in-person interactions. This is particularly beneficial in the context of the pandemic, and in a country as vast as ours. With VR, people do not need to travel to access creation and development spaces, or even to attend live artistic events, for instance. Therefore, driven by Musitechnic’s pioneering spirit, Unica CRLI is deeply committed to XR R&D efforts, and actively supports partners initiatives in that regard.
