Shareplay Music Collaboration Platform

Project Overview

ShareplayMusicCollab is an innovative platform designed for musicians to collaborate remotely in real-time using augmented reality (AR). By leveraging the immersive capabilities of Apple Vision Pro, this platform creates an interactive music jamming experience where artists can connect and perform together, regardless of their physical locations.

Key Features:

• Remote Real-Time Collaboration: Musicians can jam together seamlessly from different locations.
• Augmented Reality (AR): Using Apple Vision Pro, the platform provides an engaging virtual environment for creating music.
• Instrument Selection and MIDI Monitoring: Allows musicians to select virtual instruments and monitor their inputs in real-time.
