Avatars, headsets and green screens - is this the future of live music?
Virtual reality: 'There's no max, there's no limit!'Seeing your favourite artists live on stage hasn't been easy to do during the last year or so. But what about watching shows in an entirely virtual world?
Dutch symphonic rock band Within Temptation were due to headline London's O2 arena in 2020 but travel restrictions and social distancing limits have forced them to postpone on more than one occasion. The band turned to the technology to perform The Aftermath – A Show In A Virtual Reality. Fans were able to buy tickets for the concert and watch it online. Band leader Sharon den Adel told the BBC about the experience.
