Music in the metaverse. 

Multi-stage design for a series of performances.   

OSFest 2022.  Networking.  

Instant messaging (IM)

Musical performances in the metaverse bring people together.

• Watch on YouTube
• OSfestival 2022 Stage Area.

The main dance area

• The main dance area is a square with stages on each area.  
• The design uses 4 simulators 
• A simulator here is software running on a server.
• Each simulator creates a square piece of land.
• The dance floor is formed by putting the server squares together.
• The 4 corners come together at the center of the dance floor.
• Each stage is on a separate server.   
• Each server can handle about 80 avatars, 
• so the stage can handle about 320 avatars.
• The audience will usually gather in front of the active stage.  
• But  they don't have to.
• The audience can hear from anywhere on the stage.
• All 4 quadrants of the dance area get the same stream.
• When a new performance starts on a different stage,
• People will hear it from where they are.  
• So they can walk over to the active stage when they feel like it.
• Just walk, no teleport.  
• If you ask your audience to TP elsewhere, you will lose some of them.

*********************************

Performers want their own stage

•  And they can have it.  
• While the current performer is working on one stage,
• the next performer can be setting up on another stage.
• The next performer can rez a full stage, if they want.
• That's one of the advantages of the metaverse.  
• You can make a stage, copy it into your inventory and rez it where you have authority.
• Conveniently, that rezzing will not affect the current performance.
• Because they are on different servers. 
• Suggestion:  Use a thrust stage design to bring performers closer to the people.

The advantage for networking

• OpenSim viewers can show you everyone nearby.
• So when the whole audience is in one place, you can find everyone.
• You can look for people you used to know and  reconnect with them.
• You can check profiles and find people you want to know.
• You can look for people you have heard of and get in touch with them.
• Oh, yes.  We talk in instant messages (IM) all the time. Bothers no one.
