Project Description

The overarching goal of this project is to capitalize on the expertise in music in the Institute for Creativity, Art, and Technology (ICAT) and 5G communications (Wireless@VT) at Virginia Tech to explore the potential of utilizing novel 5G wireless, artificial intelligence (AI), and power compute capability in most user devices.

The project will focus on online real-time networked music collaboration, which enables musicians in different locations to perform as if they were in the same room.
