Philharmonia VR

Responsibilities / 360 Stereo Fixing & Rig Removal

INITION partnered up with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Southbank Centre to create a truly unique orchestra experience. The ‘digital takeover’ presents the first major virtual reality (VR) production from a UK symphony orchestra.

The project delivered was a 360° 3D video and audio experience, transporting the user into the centre of the orchestra, standing beside its Principal Conductor & Artistic advisor Esa-Pekka Salonen.

The production aimed to allow people to experience the wonders of classical music using emerging technologies whereby the user get fully immersed in the sounds and captivated by the music. The experience was designed to showcase the production, using Samsung Gear VRs, to members of the public visiting the Southbank Centre.
