Vye is a next-generation entertainment platform, built for heads-up AR but deployed early on mobile.  Vye elevates casual listeners to SuperFan status, making them creative partners in the process of sharing and experiencing music around the world, and asks the question - "In a world of heads up AR, what does music look like?" 

With Vye, fans learn what kind of fan they really are - and want to be. If they're SuperFans, they can remix music visuals, place the songs in meaningful locations around the world, and curate their reality with art + music for other fans to discover and experience, entitling then to new kinda of rewards from their favorite musicians. Vye helps structure the fan journey - are you simply a casual listener, or are you a diehard Degen?
