Live Empathy - A Concert in the Virtual World
This concert features a dreamlike "Party of the Gods" crafted by emerging artist Ye Che. He used 4DViews scans and 360-degree real-world footage, blending them with the intricate arrangements of Elephant Gym's math rock and the rhythmic drumming of Chio-Tian Folk Drums & Arts Troupe.
As an orange-red glow fills the sky, DJ Mykal a.k.a. Lin Zhe-Yi takes over with electronic music to "invite the gods." This transitions into XR's virtual reality photography and 4DViews volumetric capture of "Good Fortune for the Year of the Tiger: Fantastic Flesh 2.0," an XR live music video by Flesh Juicer. By using a VR headset audiovisual playback system and 5G technology, the viewer is able to experience a high-speed feast for both of his/her eyes and ears.

XR immersive concert “Dieties’ Party”
VR experiences often focus on individual immersion. However, to highlight the collective synchronicity that is crucial to a live concert, we developed "DONTAI SYNC," a VR headset audiovisual playback system specifically for this XR immersive concert.
This system connects 72 VR headsets simultaneously, using low-latency 5G technology to ensure that the audience's visuals are perfectly synchronized. This allows them to collectively explore a fantastical world co-created by the artists. Under the dense wall of sound woven live by Elephant Gym and Flesh Juicer, the shared physical experiences of the audience intertwine, creating an entirely new type of performance.
The shocking sensation of synchronized immersion will become the core of future live performances. "DONTAI SYNC" can adjust the number of synchronized headsets based on the nature of the show. No matter the audience size, everyone can be immersed together, creating a shared emotional experience and an irreplaceable sense of live performance.
