The collaboration with Microsoft, and produced by Listen, has created an amazing visual experience for their Webster Hall performance. The partnership also enlisted the brilliant minds over at Volvox Labs to create a duplicate virtual universe which was reenacting the live performance in real time. The duality of this live performance matched with its virtual twin is visually stunning as well as challenging of the capabilities of Kinect sensors that are common to the XBOX console.

The Volvox team essentially created a rig of the five Kinect sensors to capture each band member and their movements on stage. After doing so, they built a computer to receive all the sensory information the Kinects to pick up and transfer that into projectable visuals to be displayed in real time. The results are sensational and the band now plans to take this setup on the road, creating this optic spectacle at every show while they are on tour.
