Soundscape VR and Silica Sol
Back in March 2020, Soundscape VR unveiled its newest world which is inspired by the deserts of the southwest: Silica Sol. For those not familiar with Soundscape VR (SVR), CEO and Lead Developer, Eric Alexander, created a virtual reality experience that fully immerses you into the music experience.
Eric has stated that Burning Man was where the Soundscape VR journey began. The best parts of community, technology, art and music came together in a “mind-bending festival experience.” Silica Sol pays homage to that experience.
