Do you remember the exciting closing ceremony of the 2012 London Summer Olympics? The world-renowned British rock band Queen performed on Stage, and the organizers used special effects video to present the band's late lead singer Freddie Mercury to a global audience at Wembley Stadium in 1986. Everyone in the field waved arms in the air with Mercury's inspiring music, and echoed his beats as if he were really around people. Several years later, Queen, together with Google Play and Visual Studio Enosis VR, using virtual reality technology, completed a new MV of the classic "Bohemian Rhapsody ", which is a breakthrough attempt for the production and appreciation of music.
The app called “The Bohemia Rhapsody Experience”, can be installed on a mobile phone or a tablet. Open the app, choose the panoramic mode or put on VR glasses, look at the electronic screen, we will be immersed in the live show of the lead singer Mercury. This app is a complex integration of the real live singing video, two-dimensional and three-dimensional animation, action capture and visual effects, so that we can listen to the songs while following the singer to complete a wonderful space-time travel. Enosis VR also collaborated with other companies to recreate the soundtrack of Bohemian Rhapsody by using the most advanced immersive sound technology, creating an unparalleled surround sound. When the audience are dancing to the song, the music will also fluctuate with the movement. Therefore, we do not only listen to a song, but participate in the wonderful performance with the singers.
In addition to providing us with a new way to review the classics of the past, VR can also bring a richer experience to the fans who are watching live. For example, the VR cameras at different angles will help to transmit the captured real-time image to fans, so no matter where the fans are, they can easily watch the concert live, and the effect of the scene is no different, or even better than the scene.The virtual reality technology provides not only a wider performing space for music artists, but alsoa powerful tool for the interaction between musicians and fans. The music of the future, not only means we use ears to listen to a song, but into the world of musicians, listen to the story of their music.
