    We're seeking startups and university teams to explore a range of experiences that demonstrate new ways for artists to create music, connect with their fans, and reimagine how we interact with music and sound.

    How can emerging technologies such as AR, VR, spatial audio, GANs, LiDAR, avatars and virtual characters and other immersive and gaming technologies that reflect imaginative, exploratory and creative approaches to music? The challenge will bring together a mix of startup and university teams that as a cohort will explore the overarching, speculative question: What is possible now that was not before?
