Heardbeats : A Project Revolutionizing the Live Concert Industry

If you’ve ever tried to purchase a ticket to your favorite artist’s concert or event and unfortunately were unable to despite all your best efforts, there’s a project just for you coming your way.
Towards the end of 2015, 10 million people attempted to buy tickets for Adele’s 2016 US tour. But only 100,000 tickets were sold and remaining 9 million fans never got their hands on tickets.
In order to address this problem, our project began over a year ago, on a mission to eliminate existing barriers in the live music industry and bring the live concert experience to any location imaginable through virtual reality.

The platform is named Heardbeats.

Heardbeats Overview

Hearbeats is a platform which allows its users to enjoy their favourite concert from any location they desire at affordable prices.
We are aware of the fact that any live concert or event always has limited tickets for sale because of venue limitations. But because of this, many people have never been able to purchase tickets to these concerts despite their willingness to pay. But now, technology has advanced and we’ve moved into the age of digitization.
To take advantage of that digitization, Heardbeats has been developed. The Heardbeats leaders have successfully contracted a team made up of top experts, completed market analysis in North America and Europe, conducted market validation focus groups, tested their UI/UX platform prototype with 250 people, and completed strategic planning for 2018.
The platform is focused on providing a means to those people who are unable to book their tickets but want to watch their favourite musical artist performing live in a concert, while sitting in the comfort of their homes using digitization and virtual reality platforms.

How Does Heardbeats Work?

Heardbeats is a platform that delivers complete solutions to current issues in the concert industry and revolutionizes the musical world, allowing live music to cross new frontiers and reach more people than ever before.
This platform will also be supported through an application which will be compatible with your smart phones as well as tablets. Through Heardbeats you will find:

Main Highlights Of Heardbeats Platform

There are some unique features that the Heardbeats platform offers which separates it from other platforms and makes it a leader in this domain. Let’s have a look at those unique features:

Access To Live Multi Camera
All the cameras which are covering that concert in Full HD or even 4K, will be at each user’s disposal. You will be able to choose the camera angles you want to see and the ones you don’t. You can choose the angle, resolution, and PPI to make the live concert experience even more refreshing.

Access to 360º Transmission
This is the first time you’ll have access to 360º live video transmission on your compatible VR set. You will constantly be in the best location at the concert at all times, enjoying a 360º unframed experience with surround sound. It truly feels as if the concert is just for you, whether you are watching from a front row camera or one from the middle of the crowd. If you do not have an VR device, you can still enjoy the 360º video on your TV screen.

Exclusive Content
Now, with the help of Heardbeats platform, you will have access to exclusive content including behind the scenes concert videos, interviews with the artists, and unedited footage.
