‘Rivet’ is a startup that creates Virtual Reality (VR) & 360 degree Content for music & entertainment industry. As they claim on their Site, it fuses music & technology into a powerful new consumer experience.
These guys have launched a ‘live’ music app on App Store that they claim will help revolutionize the way ‘live’ & ‘on demand’ music is viewed on the Internet. During this year’s Intel Computex , RivetVR went on stage & showcased a 360 degree ‘live’ performance from Living Colour at the New York’s Blue Note Jazz Club to bring a new dawn on VR technology.
The startup has also ensured that your musical experience will always be remarkable by making the audio for their recorded performances binaural & the sound is high grade. Imagine watching a show on a VR headset from the comfort of your living room couch but still experiencing the intimacy of a dimly lit club in New York. Well, this is what Rivet brings to you on your mobile phone or Tablet.
Rivet Music, the ‘live’ music app, will let iPhone & iPad users to stream ‘live’ concerts in VR as well as re-watch archived performances from the venue. It will also allow you to switch from 360 degree to VR mode while you watch the shows. For you to view the 360 degree videos you require either the Chrome, Firefox, or Opera browser.
Since its still in its early development stage Rivet users, for now, will only be able to stream full performances from the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City. How do you know if there are new shows? Well, Rivet Music allows you to receive special messages when there are special ‘live’ presentations & when new shows are released. The startup is working with The Soul Rebels, a nationally & internationally touring band, on creating this cutting edge 360 degree & virtual content.
Although for now the app is only for iOS, Android users need not worry as Rivet claims that the app will soon be launched on Android as their service already works with Google Cardboard.
Rivet was founded by Rivet Media LLC with owners of the Blue Note Jazz Club as the co-founders. The startup is located in New York, USA. The app was released on App Store on May 26, this year. It’s compatible with devices on iOS 8.0 or later.
