I just came across this demo video today from video producer Matt Workman. It’s a very crude set-up in his house but, this is an incredible ‘proof of concept’ demo for what’s possible. Since seeing the early version of Second Life (one of the first virtual reality game environments I’d ever seen), I have been wondering about the next generation of music education (and more specifically education of drummers). This video just pushes me even further in that direction.
For now, I’m just going to post the video and welcome your comments below. But know that, here in my own studio, I’m burning a lot of mental calories trying to figure out how I can utilize technology like this in the next chapter of my life as a music educator.
Thoughts? Is there a future for this in drum education? Any Unreal Engine Jedi’s want to partner up?
