Headphone audio pioneer Dysonics today announced that its Bluetooth-enabled motion sensor, RondoMotion, will be used for the immersive audio section of the Björk exhibition at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), March 8, 2015 – June 7, 2015.
RondoMotion is the world’s first wireless motion sensor for headphones. Björk is a retrospective that draws from more than 20 years of the artist’s daring and innovative career, offering an experience of music in many layers, with instruments, a theatrical presentation, an immersive sound experience, a focused audio guide, and related visualizations.
RondoMotion attaches easily to any over-the-ear headphones, immersing listeners in a reactive, dynamic audio environment. Björk attendees will wear Bowers & Wilkins headphones equipped with a RondoMotion sensor, and will enter a 360 degree motion-tracked audio environment that syncs with striking visual elements as they move throughout the exhibit’s “Songlines” section.
“Accurately tracking listener head movement with RondoMotion allowed our team to create a new level of immersion and engagement for listeners experiencing the Björk ‘Songlines’ psychoacoustic augmented audio installation at MoMA,” said Björk “Songlines” project collaborator Andrew Melchior.
“We often describe our technology as the virtual reality of audio. So naturally, we’re thrilled to help bring Björk’s exquisite art to life for this interactive exhibition,” said Dysonics CTO Robert Dalton. “Hearing sound change relative to your head movement, just like it does in a real space, results in a groundbreaking, fully immersive audio experience that ‘puts you there.'”
For a similar experience at home, Dysonics has just released RAPPR, a revolutionary 3D audio environment for headphones. Available for Mac OS X, RAPPR works with all headphones to seamlessly produce exceptional audio for everything you listen to: Spotify, Netflix, iTunes, Hulu, etc. Pair RAPPR with RondoMotion for the complete immersive audio experience. Both can be purchased at Dysonics.com.
