Currently, there is a growing trend in the use of virtual reality (VR) in various fields. Despite its already captivating nature, the immersive experience of VR can be further enhanced by converting the human hearing spectrum into tangible vibration.
May VR concerts never live up to the real thing?
Virtual reality will be simply not enough
Think of the magic of live concerts and festivals:
Energy of the crowd
Live performing artists
Feeling the sound on your skin through loud speakers

While virtual reality technology cannot replicate the tactile sensations that are a key part of the live music experience.
Virtual reality concerts have been touted as the future of live music, promising to provide an immersive and engaging experience for fans around the world. While the technology has made great strides in replicating the audio and visual components of a live concert, there is one key element that is missing: the sense of touch.
In a traditional concert setting, fans can feel the vibrations of the music, and the physical presence of the performers. However, in a virtual reality concert, these sensations are largely absent. While virtual reality technology can create a highly realistic audio and visual experience, it cannot replicate the tactile sensations that are a key part of the live music experience.
Bringing the live experience home
On the other side, experiencing the magic of a live concert often requires either expensive travel to another country or accepting that the live experience may not be available in your location.
When a band embarks on a “world tour,” it typically only visits a limited number of countries, such as the USA, Canada, major European countries, Japan, and Australia. As a result, concerts may not be available in many other countries. Furthermore, factors such as expensive ticket prices and external circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic may further limit the accessibility of live concerts.
Now imagine a live virtual reality concert where you not only see and hear the artists performing, but also feel the music as vibrations on your skin. This would create a truly unique and unforgettable experience, bringing the magic of live concerts to people all over the world.
The missing piece of VR concerts: the sense of touch
There comes Haptic Feedback into play, which refers to the use of touch or vibration to communicate information to users. In the context of music, Haptic Feedback could be used to enhance the digital concert experience. By converting the human hearing spectrum into vibrations, users could feel music as well as hear it. This can create a more immersive and engaging experience, allowing users to feel like they are truly a part of the live performance.

Haptic Feedback can be used to simulate the sensation of wind to help users feel more connected to the virtual world.
Haptic Feedback, which involves the use of tactile sensations to provide feedback to users, has the potential to greatly enhance the immersive experience of virtual reality. By simulating a wide range of physical sensations, Haptic Feedback can make virtual reality feel more realistic and engaging, which in turn can increase the level of presence and immersion that users feel.
For example, Haptic Feedback can be used to simulate the sensation of wind, heat, or even the impact of objects in a virtual environment. This can help users feel more connected to the virtual world and create a stronger sense of presence. Additionally, it can be used to provide important cues and feedback during VR experiences, such as providing a tactile sensation when a virtual object is picked up or moved.
