What is the Virtual Reality: Music Study?
As a team, we wanted to know if it would be possible to bring the symphony experience to people in their homes. We are testing a virtual reality symphony experience using headsets to see what people like about the experience and if it would be possible to expand beyond our current participants to those in residential care facilities or in communities outside of the greater Fort Collins area. At present, we are analyzing data collected in focus groups before we branch out to providing the experience to the broader community.
