About
Volta is a Virtual and Augmented Reality application for music producers and artists. It allows users to easily mix spatial audio and expressively create new music through physical interactions. The project was inspired by the rise in virtual reality music experiences, with companies such as Live Nation increasingly using online virtual reality platforms such as videogames to broadcast live concerts in virtual reality across the world.
