Research

Music provides deep pleasure and value to people. It supports expression and emotion, creates powerful experiences, and influences social, cognitive, and motor functions. At IPEM, we study music through humans’ lived, embodied interactions — “the body in action.”

Using new eXtended Reality (XR) technologies, we explore embodied interaction with music and creative culture. XR enables immersive, multisensory environments with objects, avatars, and agents. Through bodily interaction technologies, we create both simulations of real spaces and entirely new ones born from imagination. At IPEM, we investigate how these spaces can serve as innovative research labs, museums, and concert halls of the future.
