title = "Chromaesthetica: A Virtual Reality App for Learning Musical Theory Using Sound-Colour Cross-Modal Associations",
abstract = "This demo paper presents a Virtual Reality (VR) application designed to explore innovative methods of learning basic music theory through sound-colour cross-modal associations. Leveraging the immersive capabilities of the latest head-mounted displays, the application provides an interactive and engaging platform with significant potential for music education. The demo marks an initial step in investigating how VR's immersive features can enhance the understanding of sound-colour associations and their role in learning musical concepts, specifically intervals and melodies within the C Major scale. Two groups will participate in the study: a control group will learn using a predefined sound-colour mapping, while the experimental group will create their own personalised mappings through a pre-test in VR, which will be applied in subsequent lessons. The forthcoming study aims to provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of VR and cross-modality in facilitating music theory education.",
