Soundscape, the pioneering musical metaverse for VR and PC, is set to unveil its latest iteration at the Consumer Electronics Show 2024 (CES). A leader in the field since its launch in 2017, the company offers an imaginative and interactive listening environment, replicating the atmosphere of a music festival.
The platform, called Soundscape VR, allows users to explore various virtual worlds independently or online, utilizing personalized avatars to enjoy music. At CES 2024, Soundscape will present a visually and technologically advanced metaverse built on the Unreal Engine 5, delivering upgraded graphics and play mechanics.
This next version of Soundscape is notable for being the first major VR experience developed natively on the Unreal Engine 5 graphics engine. It introduces enhancements such as Soundskin avatar creation capabilities and the v4 release of the company’s audiovisual engine, enriching the beauty and reactivity of visual elements in all hyper-immersive worlds.
Soundscape has formed partnerships with renowned artists, including GRiZ, Slash, Evanescence, Goose, and more, who have created virtual performances accessible on both PC and VR platforms — The CES 2024 launch will be accompanied by additional partnerships with prominent labels.
Founder and CEO of Soundscape, Eric Alexander, highlighted the platform’s commitment to building powerful and captivating multi-reality experiences. He described the latest version of Soundscape as the culmination of a decade of development, representing a visionary product.
Soundscape will be available for purchase on Steam for $39.99 in early 2024, providing a high-performance, non-data-collecting entertainment experience. CES attendees have the opportunity to schedule an in-person demo, further showcasing Soundscape’s immersive and innovative offerings.
