VIXTAPEMusic Social Experience
in VR
Tori Zhao
The technology is always getting more and more advanced. The experience is not. As it's getting extremely easy to obtain and share music, we have lost the full-filling experience of social and sharing -- Think about how good it feels when you bought you favourite CD and carry it home, sitting on the coach with your friends talking about the playing song. Now, with the VR technology become accessible, it's time to bring the good old memory back.
How we communicate today?
There is growing interest in visual communication app with built-in privacy and accessibility feature
There is high interest among consumers for human-like communications with machines
We long to share our tastes with others, partly because we are sharing part of ourselves; sharing taste in music helps us to identify which people also share our values and to whom we might be attracted socially.
