<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">The European project, titled Mixed Reality Environment for Immersive Experience of Art and Culture (XTREME), is meant to ease access to the many benefits of musical experience by providing
a mixed reality (MR) solution that, instead of requiring the participant to be physically present in the venue, brings the concerts and performances to a remote location. MR retains the immersive experience, and even gives additional dimensions to it by integrating
real and virtual contents. </span></p>
