Use of virtual reality in creating interactive musical performances

Abstract

The study examines technological approaches to the use of virtual reality in musical performances and their impact on audiovisual art. It has been established that VR transforms the interaction between performers and audiences by providing a sense of presence, personalization, and interactive control over musical parameters. The main methods of audience interaction with VR content have been identified, including the use of gesture controllers, biometric sensors, and artificial intelligence algorithms. The impact of VR environments on the emotional perception of the audience has been assessed, particularly the role of spatial audio, audiovisual synchronization, and biometric adaptation in enhancing listener engagement.The aim of the study is to analyze VR solutions for interactive musical performances, identify the challenges of their integration into concert and studio practices, and develop recommendations for improving VR technologies in the music industry.The methodology is based on an analysis of scientific sources and practical VR case studies, a comparative analysis of technological solutions for interactive performances, and an examination of the technical limitations of VR tools in concert and studio applications.The key problems and challenges of implementing VR in the music industry have been identified. It has been found that major barriers include audio latency, limited compatibility of VR instruments with traditional music systems, the absence of standardized protocols for VR mixing and recording, and high computational resource requirements.Recommendations for improving VR solutions for interactive musical performances have been proposed. Approaches to reducing audio latency through optimized spatial audio algorithms and artificial intelligence have been developed. The necessity of establishing standardized audio transmission protocols to ensure the compatibility of VR instruments with traditional studio systems has been substantiated.Future research prospects include the development of new VR concert personalization models based on biometric sensors and neurointerfaces, improvements in automated music generation methods, and the reduction of VR technology costs for broader adoption in the music industry.
