Abstract

Holograms are an emerging technology increasingly utilized in musical concerts and shows. This technological advancement is becoming prevalent and is expected to play a significant role in the future of live performances. Incorporating a hologram into a concert involves projecting a three-dimensional virtual avatar onto the stage, synchronized with pre-recorded music. This can impact both the sound quality and the architectural design of the concert venue. As a result, the design process may need to be altered or optimized to accommodate evolving technology.
As Concert halls have specific design principles to achieve optimal sound quality without relying on complex artificial sound systems, this paper explores the interior design process of concert halls before and after the implementation of hologram technology. This paper also will discuss the problem of applying the hologram technology and its negative effect on the sound quality as its mechanism of setting causes sound distortion. A comparative analysis based on decibel level measurements in both cases before and after applying the hologram technology, highlights the advantages and disadvantages of integrating holograms in concert halls. Lastly, the paper presents recommendations on optimizing concert hall designs to incorporate this technology while maintaining sound quality.
