Philharmonia Orchestra - 'William Tell' Virtual Orchestra

Philharmonia Orchestra

For the Philharmonia's 'William Tell' virtual orchestra experience, we were the VR delivery agency end to end — with our COO, Bertie Millis, credited as XR consultant on the piece. We launched it at the Royal Festival Hall to 700 visitors across two days, running on 50 headsets with a deliberately lightweight, sustainable physical setup, to consistently positive feedback. 


Ahead of that, we procured and prepared 75 headsets for an education pilot: installing and testing the William Tell app, then packing them in sets of five into Peli cases — controllers, headphones and supplies included — for distribution to schools in Leicester, the first step in taking the experience into education.
