Immersive Audio Special

By XR Initiative

Brighton & Hove 17 Jun 2026, 18:00 to 20:00

Immersive Audio Special showcases VR-specific approaches to audio across gaming, music production, and spatial computing, exploring how sound can shape presence, interaction, and creative experience in immersive environments.
For this event, we are pleased to host Rael Hodgson and Jim Simons, who will share their work at the intersection of VR, XR, music technology, hand tracking, haptics, and social music-making.

Rael will showcase Jamsesh, the social VR music he is building from the ground up at Hundun Labs.
