Have you missed a live music experience recently that you massively regret? Well, thanks to the wonderful world of technology through the vehicle of a smart phone application, you may be able to live (or relive) music concerts from the comfort of your own chair.
This revolutionary technological advancement arrives at the hands of developers Jaunt who have built a concert virtual reality app that allows users to experience real live concerts, and the first gig that’s up for viewing is Paul McCartney’s August 14th show at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park, interestingly, the last place where The Beatles played a public concert back in 1966, as Consequence Of Sound reports.
A press release details that the app “puts you right there in the crowd, onstage, backstage, or even right by Paul’s side in the midst of the climactic pyro, as he performs ‘Live and Let Die’ live at Candlestick” cementing that fans can “experience McCartney live in concert like never before.”

Without losing our heads in the deep technical side, Jaunt briefly explain how they have constructed the virtual reality app, by making use of “360 degree, stereoscopic 3D cameras, and 3D sound-field microphones” whilst at McCartney’s concert.
In addition to this, they commented on the wholly engulfing handheld show, “Viewers will experience a completely new level of immersion: complete freedom to look in any direction and experience every moment of the performance in true stereoscopic 3D with reactive, omnidirectional audio.”
This is Jaunt’s first venture into the virtual reality realm, in which CEO Jens Christensen stated the company has great ambitions for the future, with plans to create full music concerts, movies and sporting events as he closed “We’re creating a completely new medium for entertainment.”
