About Project

In this work, inspired by the classic 1940 Disney film Fantasia, we present a visual AR experience in 3D, synchonized to classical music. The AR Fantasia project was realized as a live musical experience, with classical numbers performed by a set of string, woodwind, and brass ensembles. The musical-visual integration was emphasized by including the musicians themselves as part of the visual scene. In addition, analysis of the music played was used to control the motion of the visual effects and elements in real-time.
