Listen to on-stage performances from different seats in York Theatre Royal auditorium and experience theatre and performance in an entirely new way. Led by Damian Murphy, researchers from the University of York’s Audio Lab team have captured visual and acoustic data from the old and new theatre space. Join them as they demonstrate a new audio/visual virtual reality experience of a theatre.
