Popular on Variety “For me, music has always been more than something we hear, it is something we feel emotionally,” Rahman said. “Technology now allows us to experience stories and music in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago. With the ARR Immersive App, we wanted to create a space where audiences don’t simply watch a performance or listen to a composition, they feel present within it.
This is about bringing together music, storytelling and innovation to create experiences that are deeply personal, emotionally engaging and truly immersive. I believe this is an exciting new canvas for creators, and this is only the beginning.” ARR Immersive can be downloaded through the Apple App Store, debuting first on Apple Vision Pro, with a Meta Quest release to follow.
