Theatron is currently collaborating with Prof. Roberto Pompoli of the Department of Engineering at the University of Ferrara, to explore the application of virtual acoustics to the study of ancient theatres. As a pilot project, a virtual model of the small theatre at Messene in southern Greece has been prepared. With the assistance of ancient music discovered at Messene, this VR model of the theatre will be used to test the acoustical quality of the building under a variety of conditions. watch this space for a demonstration!
