Overview

Netnographic research explores how modular synthesis ethos translates into extended realities, highlighting creative immersion.

Key Points

  • The research aims to explore how the tactile appeal of physical modular synthesis can be adapted to extended reality environments.
  • Utilized a netnographic approach to analyze content from social media platforms like YouTube, Discord, and Reddit.
  • Examined the virtual modular synthesis tool PatchWorld and adapted OpenSoundLab for multi-user sessions in mixed reality.
  • Distributed commercial headsets and software to three artists for observation of their practices in extended realities.
  • Evidence suggests that elements of physical modular systems can be effectively translated to virtual systems.
  • Participants experienced significant creative and social immersion using virtual modular tools.
