VIVALDI 3.0. The Immersive Universe of Antonio Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons.'

The mission: To contribute to the exponential growth of the digital sector in Spain and Europe by bringing knowledge of creative arts and music to society, facilitating access, and democratizing their use through a hybrid platform that highlights the ability of creative arts to evoke emotions, sensations around the natural environment, and unite people around collaborative communities.

To encourage and accelerate the participation of a greater number of young women in the digital creative industry, promoting the employment of new generations and entrepreneurship in innovation, for future professions and skills.

 

The Project

The grants for promoting the video game sector and other forms of digital creation form the Ministry of Culture of Spain, aim to support the ecosystem of this sector, covering pre-production, production, and distribution of video games and other forms of digital creation, as well as incubation, mentoring, or acceleration programs for projects related to the sector.

On the other hand, creators, artists and musicians collectives are demanding new approaches to reach audiences increasingly distant from traditional performance venues. 

Additionally, the detachment of young people from traditional models of participating in live events is directly impacting the current ecosystem of creators and artists in a significant way.

This has provided us with the opportunity to face this challenge with courage and a vision for the future.

This is a project finance by Ministry of Culture , NextGenerationEU founds and the Recovery and Resilience Plan.

The Challenge

Therefore, in close collaboration with the Reina Sofia Superior School of Music, we embarked on a journey to engage with young people through education, seeking fresh approaches and involvement in digital environments such as video games and immersive experiences.

The experience gained by both organizations in previous years in Spanish schools, through initiatives like "Music with the 5 Senses", has served as a reference point for us to continue advancing and improving on this path. 

Hence, we wanted to tackle this new challenge with a much more ambitious, cross-cutting, international, and multicultural approach capable of becoming a benchmark icon and evolving over time to adapt to technological advancements. Incorporating cross-cutting values such as equality, sustainability, planet preservation, and observing their impact through music.

Moving this project forward requires working with the best partners, sharing a common vision, and betting on an innovative and disruptive idea capable of exciting and engaging the widest possible audience. 

 

The Solution

And the pieces of the puzzle fit perfectly. Vivaldi and The Four Seasons allowed us to develop the idea to its fullest extent, the Reina Sofia Superior School of Music, the ideal companion to bring the experience to schools and educational centers, and musician Ara Malikian, a key piece in this picture, capable of painting and interpreting unique scenes around Vivaldi's work.

Vivaldi 3.0 is not a video game, nor is it a 360º movie; it is a unique experience in which the visitor discovers, explores, plays, and interacts with nature, the work, and the musician in an absolutely immersive way.

Over 6 intense months of work, involving an international team with more than 50 professionals, exceeding 2,500 hours of production and development, 3 days of live concert recording, 1 day and two live media concerts with over 500 students from 10 schools.

Vivaldi's four seasons from a perspective you've never imagined before.

FilmLab LaC6. Emerging Filmmaker Mentorship Program

The mission: FilmLab LaC6 is a mentoring program for film projects promoted by SODECO and adapted to the unique needs of film creation and production in Asturias.

During five months in the central mining areas of Asturias, a group of 20 active film professionals with a recognized track record will accompany the entrepreneurs in the initial phase of their film project. 

They will learn the necessary methodologies and tools in the development and production of their own audiovisual work.

The Project

6 film projects will be selected (fiction, non-fiction or animation feature films and short films) that will form part of a support program spread over 30 school days.

The selected projects will be mentored by three tutors who will individually accompany the participants throughout the development of FilmLAB LaC6. 

Students will be able to share their project and learn the details of the processes of creating a film through 20 independent professionals whose film works have been nationally and internationally recognized in the different areas of the development of a film production: direction, script, production, editing , sound, VFX, immersive storytelling, ambisonic sound, animation, , broadcast and distribution.

The Challenge

The challenge is aimed at emerging directors and producers, under 35 years of age, born and/or residing in Asturias and with feature film and short film projects of any genre, form and narrative language (fiction, non-fiction or animation). 

In short, a program aimed at entrepreneurs with talent, training and entrepreneurial capacity who need to find their own cinematographic look, with a special focus on the rural areas. Where they have fewer resources and access to new technologies. 

Develop a professional dossier that is the cover letter of your film. Prepare and present your project to producers, distributors, exhibitors, and film festival programmers.

The Solution

FilmLab Lac6, it is quite a challenge before us. That requires the design of an actions-based training methodology and hands on workshops with individual and group experimentation.

The program combines face-to-face workshops, one-on-one meetings, face-to-face and virtual mentoring with the tutors and professionals, meetings with producers and distributors, etc.

Technologies and production software and devices: 4K and 8K 360º cameras, Zoom ambisonics recording equipment, introduction to Virtual Productions with Unreal Engine, creation of a Virtual Pitch in the Metaverse, introduction to AI in the creation process, and practices with Pico 4 VR devices.

Music with 5 Senses. Bringing classical music to schools with virtual reality 

The mission: Train highly-talented musicians for their professional careers.

Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía, Fundación Banco Santander and ONE Digital Consulting, bring classical music to schools with Virtual Reality.


The Reina Sofía School of Music has launched the "Concerts for Schoolchildren" cycle, which seeks to create and train new audiences for classical music, which will take place throughout the years 2021 and 2022, and it has adapted to the complex sanitary measures imposed by Covid-19. 

The Project

The Reina Sofía School of Music has launched several projects that go beyond its usual training activity to bring its educational work to new audiences. The listening and practice of music unites through values such as commitment, perseverance, leadership and collaboration, which are essential for life and coexistence.

Through the experience “Music with 5 Senses”, young students became familiar with the artistic and musical creation of great composers in history through a virtual reality experience in which they were immersed in a series of educational videos performed by the School's Camerata Viesgo : “Mozart is Lost in the Night” (with Mozart's Little Nocturnal Serenade), “Dancing with the Ear” (with Respighi's Ancient Arias and Dances) and “Serenading with Tchaikovsky” (with Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings ).

Our goal is to turn this project into a new way of learning through experience, not a one time activity. 

Classroom integration, the immersive experience as a supplement (not a replacement) for the class.

The Challenge

The challenge is to bring this experience to all the schools of the Spanish geography, with a special focus on the rural areas. Where they have fewer resources and access to new technologies. 

An immersive educational experience in VR to bring classical music closer to schoolchildren through discovery from the heart of an orchestra. The participants become actors of the experience, provoking engagement by applying a videogame like narrative.

From the original recordings of the concert in 360º, with several cameras and ambisonic microphones, an immersive, dynamic an innovative narrative for young people has been created. So that through this experience, they will discover the keys to understand and analyze the works, the instruments and the feelings that are reflected in them. 

Carlos Ochoa, director and producer of the film, an expert in virtual reality applied to education, and Fernando Palacios, screenwriter and narrator, composer and music educator, have participated in its production.

The Solution

Creating immersive experiences in educational environments is especially complex. If we add to this that these experiences revolve around classical music, the complexity of the experience increases exponentially. Therefore, we set out to approach the project from an absolutely innovative and risky perspective. 

"Music with the 5 Senses" has recreated a magical world in virtual reality in a way that could not be represented in the real world. A classical music concert, traversing natural spaces and recreated 3D contexts, would be impossible to enjoy otherwise; and the sounds of Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and Respighi come to life with animated choreography in 2D and 3D in a magical and immersive world.

The Project in Figures: More 6 intense months of work, involving team with more than 50 professionals, more than 2,000 hours of production and development, more than 100 hours of recording in 20 diferent locations, virtual reconstructions...

Today, more than 10.000 students from many scholls already experienced the project with a degree of succes of more than 95%.

Trainining the next generation of Teachers In XR. Virtual and Augmented Reality will change the way of educating

The power of immersive technologies has been reflected in a very positive way in those organizations that have been able to pivot and quickly adapt to this new context. From the incorporation of immersive collaborative environments, to the synchronous interconnection of teachers and students, through the reinvention of collaborative spaces, workshops, congresses and virtual exhibitions, capable of bringing together thousands of attendees from all over the world in the same virtual place, it is the new real scene. 

The Project

Many companies, organizations, universities and large corporations have definitely opted for immersive technologies as a method of training their teams, to adapt their skills to the new mission. 

This new scenario has highlighted, once again, the need to accelerate changes in organizations, to achieve more dynamic structures, adaptable to new times, and with the ability to work from anywhere, at any time with different multicultural teams working on collaborative networks.

The Challenge

Teachers play a main role in this transformation process: The success of and Immersive Learning initiative, demands the engagement of a team of reputable, seasoned and qualified professionals and methodologies guaranteeing the fulfillment of all targets of the project.

Our Teachers Training Program, is a key success factor for the implementation of a XR project, including workshops, seminars and community support.

Over the last few years, we collaborated with organizations and institutions from Europe, Latam, India, USA, UAE, Russia as well as VRARA, Educators in VR, iLRN, MiranosYUnete...

The Solution

During the period 2019-2021, we helped more than 1.000 teachers to learn XR Technologies adapted to this new scenario. Developing activities in which students face real-life problems by identifying ways and means of solving them.

We teach teachers to create working groups dynamics, designing and analyzing the problem and solution according to the capabilities of each one. Create your own content and adapt it to the context, storytelling, and visualize them.

Complex concepts can be understood in a simpler and contextualized way. Seeking the interaction of the problem with its application in the real world. 

Magical and Mystery tour around Cultural Heritage. A journey beyond imagination

Europe’s rich cultural heritage is a perpetual source of inspiration, innovation and creation, benefitting the economy and society.

EU cultural heritage is an intrinsic part of our shared European values and cultural diversity which are the foundation of our European identity.

This is why we need to preserve it. And in order to preserve it, we need to help ensure that our European heritage is fully embedded in the Digital Decade.

The Project

Less than 20% of the collections at EU museums, galleries or libraries are digitised. The situation is even more dramatic for sites and monuments.

Its objective is to accelerate the digital transformation of cultural heritage assets, in education, tourism or cultural and creative sectors.

By 2030, EU wants all monuments and sites at risk, and at least 50% of the most visited ones, to be digitised in 3D.

The Challenge

We must take advantage of the opportunities brought by artificial intelligence, data, and extended reality. To preserve our cultural heritage in the long run, and to provide more immersive experiences to European citizens.  

Extended reality, in particular, holds many opportunities for all sectors to seize, in education, culture, tourism or retail. The market value and jobs created by the European extended reality industry are expected to double by 2025. 

Europe has many strengths already thanks to its large cultural diversity and highly skilled professionals in 3D modelling and content creation for games and animations.

The Solution

One has been working for many years developing historical heritage reconstruction projects in 3d, interactive virtual tours, virtual worlds, 360º videos. Islamic Kunka, Renaissance Soria, Roman Leon, are just some of the reference’s projects developed in Virtual Reality. 

With Magical and Mystery Tour, ONE made an extraordinary advance, by integrating these visual experiences, with music, and other creative arts, in an innovative immersive platform. In which sensory perception becomes a high value emotional factor. Magical and Mystery Tour around Islamic Cuenca, was reconstructed from a new immersive storytelling, allowing the visitor to travel beyond imagination. 

The Alhambra of Granada will be ready for 2025

Jobs for Tech. Vocational education and training and jobs for a technological and virtual future in Europe. 

The demand of the companies in the sector, with respect to their future workers, is that they have social skills and competencies such as leadership, motivation, perseverance, flexibility, communication, etc. Focusing on the development of skills and abilities aimed at a specific sector, in this case the virtual reality subsector, ensures its better assimilation, greater effectiveness of training and a more complete response to what companies demand in profiles of these characteristics. Vocational Training includes subjects oriented to career guidance and orientation, but they lack a transversal skills development approach, and these are not addressed directly in the itineraries.

The Project

New technologies are an emerging industry creating employment opportunities and entrepreneurial possibilities. 

According to projections set out by the European Commission, market demands for qualified information and communications technology (ICT) specialists will not be met, seeing a shortfall of up to 900,000 ICT professionals in 2025. 

Virtual and Augmented Reality products are amongst those with some of the highest market demand in the ICT sector.

The Challenge

The general objective of JOBS4TECH is to align Vocational Training (VET) with the needs of the labour market in the new technologies sector, and specifically in virtual and augmented reality, to improve the employability of its students.

In the life of the project, professors from the technological area and their students have experienced an integrated itinerary in the field of VR&AR , which contemplates in a coordinated way both the teaching of technical skills and the necessary competencies for work as an employee or self in this sector.

The Solution

One has been involved in several mayor phases of the project. From the methodological and pedagogical advice and consultancy of the program, to the design, development and implementation of the training program in VR/AR. 

This pioneer program, has consisted of the development of six learning modules, where technical content has been integrated with soft skills. The training methodology has been developed to be taught in class by teachers and replicated in their countries of origin (Lithuania, Estonia, Germany and Spain) and in the rest of Europe. 

The workshops have been carried out with Oculus Rift, HTC and Samsung Gear VR devices and Unreal, Blender and Pinnacle 360 composer development tools.
