Google is experimenting with quasi virtual reality and performances. Google's Cultural Institute has recorded some performances from a number of groups like the Berlin Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestra.
It looks just like a YouTube video, but you can manipulate the camera angle (with your mouse) and look like around as if you were there. We must admit we enjoyed feeling like we were sitting in front of the Low Brass section while listening to Peer Gynt. This is very early days for the experiment, but it could be interesting to see where this leads and what it might mean for attending a concert someday.
