Virtual Record

Virtual Record is a mobile platform for musicians to develop their creative identity expressed through visualization in virtual reality beyond the realms of conventional media.

Traditional Thai music is a rich part of local culture that reveals much about everyday life in Thai society. However, audiences are no longer impressed by the dance postures, rhymes and performances and turn to more impressive and convenient modes of entertainment. This project attempts to revitalize the beauty of Thai traditional music by meshing old and new tech: vinyl record and virtual reality. Through the unique perspective of a VR lens, users will get a 360-view on the lives of local Thai artists.
