Abstract

This paper outlines a prototype of an immersive virtual reality reconstruction of a choral singing scenario, where a player can sing along with the rest of a virtual quartet using an immersive audio-visual system. The virtual simulation is intended to be a conduit for data collection for auditory perception in virtual reality (VR) reproduction as well as performance measures and effects on singing health and well-being. Live performance capture of a quartet is conducted at St. Olave’s Church in York. Acoustic measurements and 360à video are used to create an interactive virtual environment of the real performance space. This paper outlines the technical recording and production workflow of the prototype VR system.
