Engagement with the art and music can have a range of positive effects on physical and mental health. However, access to the many benefits of musical experience can be limited due to various reasons: (1) the geographic location of the venue, (2) personal limitations in access, (3) limitation on the schedule of the concerts and performances, (4) cost of the experience. Due to these limitations the effort and cost of getting access to the concerts and performances override additional value the participant would get from the experiences. In XTREME project, we remove these limitations by developing a human-centered mixed reality (MR) solution that, instead of requiring the participant to be physically present in the venue, brings the concerts and performances to a remote location via MR technology while retaining the immersive experience, and even giving additional dimensions to it by integrating real and virtual contents. Our solution also allows for virtually shared, realistic experience together with selected social circles of the user. The solution removes geographic limitations as by the MR solution the concerts and performances can be accessed virtually from anywhere and they hence are more inclusive for people with limited access. Likewise, providing a global access to the art and music provides a wider audience for musicians and artists, not limiting the number of seats by the size of the physical venue. As this solution removes the necessity to travel to concerts and performances, it also provides a greener alternative. In contrast to the current state-of-the-art, our solution targets at making an MR solution to the concerts and performances where those are in in 3D, both for visuals and sound, blended into the room of the users. We will also provide maximised experience of presence via reconstruction of the users and their behaviour in the shared access, and enhance the immersion by providing an additional visual layer to the sound.

参与艺术和音乐可能会对身心健康产生一系列积极影响。但是，由于各种原因，可以限制获得音乐体验的许多好处：（1）场地的地理位置，（2）访问中的个人限制，（3）音乐会和表演时间表的限制，（4）体验的成本。由于这些限制，访问音乐会和表演的努力和成本覆盖了参与者将从经验中获得的其他价值。在Xtreme项目中，我们通过开发以人为本的混合现实（MR）解决方案来消除这些局限性，该解决方案不是要求参与者在场地中物理出现，而是通过MR技术将音乐会和表演带到偏远的位置，同时保留沉浸式体验，甚至通过整合真实和虚拟内容来为其提供更多的维度。我们的解决方案还允许与用户的选定社交圈一起几乎共享，现实的经验。该解决方案消除了地理限制，因为MR解决方案几乎可以从任何地方访问音乐会和表演，因此对于有限访问权限的人来说，它们更具包容性。同样，提供全球艺术和音乐的访问为音乐家和艺术家提供了更大的观众，而不是按照物理场所的规模限制座位的数量。由于该解决方案消除了参加音乐会和表演的必要性，因此它也提供了更绿色的选择。与当前的最新目的相反，我们的解决方案目标是为音乐会和表演提供MR解决方案，这些音乐会和表演中都在3D中，无论是视觉效果还是声音，都融合到了用户的房间中。我们还将通过重建用户及其在共享访问中的行为来提供最大化的存在体验，并通过为声音提供额外的视觉层来增强沉浸感。
