For hand-tracking buffs: Maestro
Conducting a full orchestra with your real hands and performing famous passages from works such as Wagner's Valkyrie, Beethoven's 5th Symphony and Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro: Maestro makes this dream come true.
You will learn how to move the baton to the beat, set accents, give cues, indicate fermatas (held notes), and influence dynamics, which means controlling the volume of individual sections of the orchestra. What sounds like boring theory feels completely natural in VR and quickly becomes second nature when you use your hands instead of controllers. Maestro offers a VR experience like no other.
