Ep. 36 - The Audience Takes the Stage: Inside the AI-Driven VR Opera "From Dust"

Step into the world of From Dust, the groundbreaking VR opera that just won the Best Immersive Experience at the Cannes Film Festival.

In this episode of Dr. VR, I sit down with Michel van der Aa, the acclaimed composer, director, and innovator, whose latest work merges classical vocal performance with AI-powered interactivity to create an experience that’s tailor-made for each participant.

We discuss the future of immersive opera, how AI reshapes storytelling, and what it means to place the audience at the center of the performance We also explore topics such as immersive design, digital performance, as well as the intersection of technology and emotion.
