Alberto Boem, Luca Turchet

Published: Oct. 26, 2023

The "Musical Metaverse" (MM) promises a new dimension of musical expression, creation, and education through shared virtual environments. However, the research on MM is in its infancy. Little work has been done to understand capabilities user experience. One cause can be found lack technologies capable providing high-quality audio streaming, complex enough interactions within worlds. Two promising candidates for bridging these gaps are web such as WebXR Web Audio, whose combination potentially allow more accessible interoperable networked immersive experiences. To explore this possibility, we developed two prototypes playgrounds. We leveraged Networked-AFrame, Audio with Tone.js Essentia.js create test sonic experiences that conveniently run browsers integrated into commercially available standalone Head-Mounted Displays. first playground focuses facilitating creation multi-user application real-time sound synthesis binaural rendering. second explores analysis music information retrieval creating audio-reactive A preliminary evaluation playgrounds also presented, which revealed some usability issues as: accessing URLs headset, ambiguity ownership tools, impact algorithms perceived audio-visual latency.
