MUSIC IN THE METAVERSE:
4 STARTUPS SHAPING OUR NEW (EXTENDED) REALITY
Augmented reality. Mixed reality. Virtual reality. Whatever form it takes, the metaverse is opening up fascinating possibilities for music creators. In this mind-expanding session, four innovative startups demonstrate how music can play an essential role in shaping our metaverse experiences and identities. These exciting music tech projects were developed by the teams in the Music in the Metaverse Challenge – an innovation incubator organized by the ASCAP Lab in partnership with the NYC Media Lab.
