AR Drum Circle research envisions enjoyable remote jamming experiences despite latency
Long before the pandemic sent people scrambling into isolation, musicians have longed to jam virtually with others across the globe.

ATLAS researchers and Ericsson Research project collaborators are exploring ways in which remote drumming experiences can be made more enjoyable despite the latency, including drumming with avatars.
