There is no doubt that Steve Aoki has a strong interest in the future of technology, as evidenced by the release of four installments of his sci-fi themed Neon Future albums, which have already been released worldwide.
Now, with his official induction into Sensorium Galaxy, the prolific dance music artist is taking an even deeper dive into that domain. The digital metaverse is home to a slew of immersive experiences, including virtual reality DJ sets in the utopian PRISM World.
To create a photorealistic avatar, Aoki took part in 3D-scanning and motion capture processes, and the avatar will perform exclusive shows on the platform. Once Sensorium is officially launched, viewers will be able to tune in using virtual reality headsets, PCs, Macs, or mobile devices. You can also register for free access to the project’s beta version by visiting this page.
