Advancements in technology, particularly 5G, edge computing, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR), have propelled metaverse concerts to the forefront of the multimedia industry. These virtual events create immersive environments that enable audience participation regardless of geographical constraints, revolutionizing traditional concert formats and introducing novel business models to the music industry. This study employs a qualitative research approach incorporating in-depth interviews and thematic analysis to investigate the design of metaverse piano ensemble concerts using digital twin technology, focusing on the digital representation of performers and venues and challenges of metaverse piano concert, rather than quantifying specific aspects. Through structured interviews, we analyze positive feedback on immersion and participation, identifying key technologies such as motion capture, sound synchronization, human-computer interfaces, interactive performances, flexible viewpoints, spatial audio, and crowd avatars. These technologies aim to enhance the metaverse concert experience by improving performance space acoustics, instrument quality, audience engagement, emotional resonance, local cultural elements, visual experiences, and performers’ emotional investment. Leveraging digital twin and Internet of Things technologies, we propose an IoT cloud-based architecture for the first domestic metaverse concert prototype platform. A groundbreaking experimental performance during TNNUA’s anniversary celebration successfully demonstrated that metaverse concerts represent a promising future direction for artistic performances.
