Berklee College of Music assists with development
The basic Maestro game already impresses with its natural controls and immersive atmosphere. On the Meta Quest 3, the game renders a full orchestra, including animated musicians. After successful performances, you can perform to a cheering audience in the virtual opera house.
According to Michael Moyes, COO of Berklee Online, the renowned Berklee College of Music has been involved in the development of Maestro for two years, providing pedagogical and content feedback. The goal is to bring classical orchestral music to life through VR for the digital generation.
