The Beethoven Anniversary in 2020 offers an occasion to develop a vision for a 21st Century concert hall which - fully in the spirit of Beethoven - is untethered from a 200-year tradition. The Real Virtual Concert Hall is a visually and acoustically fully transformable 360-degree environment.

“The Perfect Place” tells the story of a couple looking to recapture the spark they once had. Scottish Ballet and BBC created “The Perfect Place” using 360° technology. It is the first film of its kind, with choreography and narrative created specifically for the medium.
