Welcome to Musica11y
Musica11y is a prototype accessible musical WebXR application.
Musica11y (pronounced music-ally) is accessible virtual reality musical instrument that can be accessed and
played on 2D platforms (desktop and tablet
formats) and in virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) or a mixture of the two (XR).
Musica11y.net is still in its proof of concept stage that a lightweight music programme can be hosted on a
web-browser and perform like a traditional digital musical instrument. The unique aspect of Musica11y.net is
that it is designed for diverse interaction methods to facilitate diverse access needs. A musician can
create an account with Musica11y.net and assign music notes to a grid of 'spatial anchors'. Spatial anchors
are used in immersive VR technologies to assign a place in space where objects can be assigned. When saved,
the 2D musical grid can be played in VR using any immersive headset.
Musica11y.net has adopted an open-source approach to foster peer development of back-end features alongside
a platform for sharing virtual reality musical instruments.
Access to the Github depository will be made open in the near future
This prototype WebXR application is supported by Future Screen's Northern Ireland's Proof of Concept
Award.
