Soapbox brings an intimate and up-close next-generation concert experience into your living room with music artists filmed in immersive 360 video. These true-life volumetric videos feature life-size holograms of real-time performances rendered in AR (live in your room) or VR (live in a fully rendered world). Get up close and personal and see your favorite musicians live from every angle. No avatars, no CGI, just the most lifelike music experience ever, only from Soapbox.

Enjoy fully immersive VR experiences from legendary rappers T-Pain and Waka Flocka Flame. We've got incredible live-in-studio performances from Hall of Fame bluesman Buddy Guy, Kevn Kinney from Drivin' N' Cryin', and singer/songwriters Cris Jacobs, Abe Partridge, and John Mark McMillan. We've even got a full band live performance from metal legends Norma Jean.

There's a special VR experience with R&B singer Tank performing a newly-completed duet with the late R&B legend Aaliyah and a fully immersive world created with the alternative singer/songwriter Eliza Grace.

Soapbox has memorable hip hop performances from Yelawolf, Jim Jones, JDot Breezy, WunTayk Timmy, Crime Mob and Dem Franchize Boyz. There's a memorable performance from hip hop artist and OnlyFans creator The Amanda Nicole.

Soapbox is the only way to have your favorite artists appear life-size in your space, performing live in stunning 3D. It's the future of music.

Pretty good

I'm giving it 5 stars because the rating seems way too low for what you get. It would be a 4 otherwise since there's room for improvement.

The biggest problem I have currently is a lack of music variety. It's all very Hip-hop and R&B coated. Where's pop, EDM, chillout etc.?

The other big one is for mixed reality performances where the lighting is all screwed up when you switch to their stock VR environment. Artists get all these visible artifacts which kills the experience.

Otherwise it's great. I see you've really stepped up your efforts lately and content comes out at a steady pace now. Keep up the good work. :)

INSANE First Experience!!

I absolutely LOVE this app!! When I showed my boi Amanda Nicole he almost passed out smdh!! It was unreal......or real lol.....

I have just removed the app from my headset. Despite the time that has passed and the multiple updates released, dynamic occlusion still hasn’t been implemented, which I consider an essential feature for the experience.

Additionally, the app’s authentication system is extremely inconvenient. It forgets the login details every time, requiring me to re-enter my username and password on each access. I often don’t remember them, and going through the email verification process repeatedly becomes frustrating enough that I eventually choose not to log in at all.

Ideally, the app should require authentication only once. Furthermore, after downloading content, it should be usable offline without needing to reconnect or enter credentials every time.

This is perfect, but for a five-star rating, I think you should include:

1. The ability to use the app offline once the content has been downloaded, meaning you can open the app without an internet connection and enjoy the downloaded content.

Now, however, you still need to be connected to the internet to access the app, even if you've downloaded content.

3D sound, the most important thing of all! It should be so that when you get close to the singer, you hear the sound coming from their voice, and when you move away or turn left or right, you hear it far away to the right or left, respectively. In short, what's called 3D sound, which would add a lot of immersion!

Dynamic occlusion of the user's hands and arms, and of the environment in general, so you get a feeling of immersion and total fusion with the real environment. Dynamic occlusion uses less resources than you might think, so try it!

------

Update: I just made the update you released, thanks!
Honestly, for a moment I was under the illusion that it had reached dynamic occlusion and/or an offline mode to start the app offline to play content already downloaded.

As soon as I see it I can't wait to stay 5 stars! I'm not currently using the app much: I'm a big fan of dynamic occlusion!😃

Thank you for your commitment to constantly improve the app, I saw that you added new paid singers (but they don't really seem like my genre to be honest), maybe in the future there was a way to see a preview in a small window before being able to make the purchase? it would be easier to decide whether to make the purchase or not?

Please... Please.... Please!... Add a Dynamic Occlusion!!!🙏🙏🙏 (On/off) ... Please!

pretty good but once you download a song, the app should be able to be used offline, which is not the case at the moment.

furthermore, to make this mixed reality experience truly complete you need dynamic occlusion, the way for example that your arms will be displayed in front or behind the 3D model depending on the distance you are at as well as the rest of the scene

you also have to keep the viewer on your head throughout the long process of downloading a video, otherwise the video won't load! this is rather useless and also annoying

My man, sorry to hear... I hope you come back and visit soon. We have recently expanded licensing agreements that are allowing us significantly expand the release schedule. Lots of great stuff on the way!

We agree that dynamic occlusion will elevate the experience. It's on the list, it's just with a small team we are balancing demands and haven't gotten to that yet.

Sorry to hear about the login issue. I'm reporting this to the dev team to try to figure out what's happening.

Offline mode is another thing we are working toward. There are many rights holders involved in music content, and thus many rules around how content can be stored and accessed. This is in the works, it just has not been released yet.

Thanks for being one of our earliest users/testers and we really appreciate all of the feedback!
