A security awareness process
Playing a drum kit, without having a drum kit
Project: A tool for creating music in virtual reality
Year: 2020
Technologies: VR for Oculus Quest / Oculus Quest 2
THE CASE _ At the first trade fair we attended, we asked ourselves what we could do to attract attention and simultaneously show the potential and benefits of immersive technologies. We opted for a small drum simulator, where by wearing the visor you stood with drumsticks in your hand and started playing, directly and without explanation;
Given its success at that generalist trade fair, we decided to further develop the software into a stand-alone and distribute it free of charge through the appropriate channels;
To date, some 10,000 downloads have been made;

THE SOLUTION _ Ragtime is a virtual reality tool that takes the form of a drum kit.
The experience allows you to explore the possibilities of virtual reality in studio and live music creation;
Features include the ability to choose from a library of songs for play-along, associate different sounds to each pad, and choose your own tempo in BPM thanks to the metronome;
You can customise the setup: position each pad anywhere in the space, or choose between two standard presets; Even all elements in the experience, from the interface to the metronome, can be repositioned for an ideal setup;
The result is a fully customised experience where you can play freely or practise anywhere;
