VR Headset App Reimagining Classic Piano Compositions

I. Introduction

I've developed a virtual reality application that offers a novel approach to experience music. This interactive music system reimagines the compositions of Claude Debussy through modern technologies.

II. Key Features

• Immersive Experience: Users explore a virtual museum environment, interacting with its elements.

• Real-time Audio Interaction: The system responds to user movements within the virtual space, adjusting audio playback in real-time.

• Technical Integration: The project integrates Unity for building the 3D virtual museum and VR interactions, Pro Tools and virtual analog synthesizers for audio production and recreating Debussy's compositions, and MATLAB for implementing impulse response processing to simulate acoustic spaces.
  

III. Recogniztion

This project was showcased at Game Republic 2024, hosted by Staffordshire University in the United Kingdom. I was selected to represent the University of York at this event, alongside my classmate Daniel (who presented a separate application).
