Now, donning one of those VR headsets means being totally (but artificially) immersed in a different environment \u2013 complete with sound, smell and touch.<\/p>\n<p>I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mp3poolonline.com\/blog\/is-the-world-ready-for-a-virtual-dj\/\">already wrote about<\/a> how <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mp3poolonline.com\/blog\/virtual-reality-remix-the-hills\/\">DJs are beginning to use virtual reality<\/a> headsets as a way of allowing more people around the world to actively participate in a show. No longer to you actually have to be at a venue to experience a show. Now, you can be in your living room and be at the show at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Virtual reality is really a great thing if you can&#8217;t get to a show for whatever reason. Like radio and television before it, VR technology has the potential to spread more music farther and wider than ever before. It provides a breeding ground for artists everywhere to tap into each other&#8217;s root cultures and gather up new influences and new styles.<\/p>\n<p>But is there a downside, too? Is VR technology ultimately isolationist? If you&#8217;re enjoying a DJ set with your VR gear firmly attached over your head and eyes, doesn&#8217;t that diminish the experience? Isn&#8217;t interacting with others part of that experience? I&#8217;d be really interested in knowing your thoughts. As a DJ, is it important for you to have an attentive audience right there in front of you?<\/p>\n<p>Check out the article that inspired my thoughts <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youredm.com\/2016\/04\/20\/live-dj-performances-taken-to-new-heights-with-vr-headset-video\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">Virtual reality has come a long way since it was first conceptualized in the 1930s.
