The XRaoke, an XR Karaoke Experience

During a 5-week development period followed by 2 weeks of production, Moment Factory’s Innovation team deconstructed all the elements of a traditional karaoke to create a hybrid experience that can be enjoyed on-site or at home through interactive features that invite viewers, wherever they may be, to participate.

The research and creation process surrounding the XR Karaoke led to the development of a functional, versatile, and modular prototype through collaboration among multiple talents from our creative, interactive, and innovation teams.

Projects of this nature hold significant importance as they provide an opportunity to design and test proof of concepts that influence our future experiences. R&D plays a vital role within Moment Factory, as they allow our innovation team to have the time and resources needed to envision, experiment, learn, and enhance our skills by utilizing unique tools and generating original ideas.

With the XR Karaoke, our team has enriched its expertise in ID and object tracking, real-time responsive content, audio-reactive elements, and dynamic bi-directional DMX control. We created a 3D karaoke stage in Unreal Engine, crafting a set of integrated features and establishing an interactive and responsive ecosystem specifically tailored to the essence of karaoke. This includes a “dynamic” virtual lighting that automatically adjusts to the real lighting of the XR Stage and vice versa.

The XR Karaoke is part of a series of prototypes that leverage the XR Stage technologies combined with other Moment Factory proprietary technologies, aiming to create new collaborative, gamified, and participatory XR experiences.

Various prototypes of mixed reality experiences utilizing the XR Stage are currently in development to further explore our artistic and technological vision and creative approach, envisioning the next generation of hybrid performances.
