Technology in the Music Industry – Augmented Reality x Spotify

AUGMENTED REALITY FIRM MAGIC LEAP LAUNCHES SPATIALLY AWARE SPOTIFY APP

Magic Leap is releasing what it says is the ‘streaming sector’s first foray into spatial listening’ – an augmented reality Spotify App. Spotify is the first major music service to launch on Magic Leap.

Through this app, Spotify Premium users can access and control their music, while using Spotify on their mobile, desktop, or tablet to control the audio on a Magic Leap One Creator Edition device.

With an all-new interface, the app places three-dimensional content from Spotify in your real-world environment. The app also allows users to create location-aware playlists for specific rooms. This means that, as you move from room-to-room in your home while wearing a Magic Leap device, Spotify will note your location and play an assigned playlist for that room.

“This is just the beginning. The launch of Spotify marks an evolution in the way you can see, hear and experience the bands and artists that you love. It’s an exciting time for music. For musicians. For developers. And for music-lovers the world over.” – Magic Leap
