About the Game

"Aeronaut" is one of the first music experiences to feature a hologram created with Microsoft Mixed Reality Capture. This technology was used to capture Billy Corgan's performance in volumetric video. In this experience, Viacom and Isobar explored how to better connect fans to artists by allowing them to interact with and experience music in an entirely new way.
