Candy-colored psychedelic sound ripples through a fractal crystal universe in this VR music synesthesia demo. It harnesses spatial 3D audio and sound visualization to map light and audio according to human sensory science. Advanced tech drives the sensory fusion in virtual reality.
Research shapes the multi-sensory experience, with potential ties to the Synesthesia Suit for full-body vibrotactile feedback. Indie creators push VR boundaries using producer Ott's music. Fans of experimental audio-visual journeys find a precise fit here.
Official selection of Sundance Film Festival New Frontier and Kaleidoscope Showcase Vol. 2!
Experience candy-colored psychedelic sound rippling through a fractal crystal universe. Crystal Vibes is a VR music synesthesia demo that utilizes the cutting edge of spatial 3D audio and sound visualization that maps sound and light based on the science of the human senses, to push the frontiers of technology-mediated sensory experience in virtual reality. With the project's predecessor described as “transcendent” and “like traveling through a psychedelic kaleidoscope” (Forbes 2016), this piece ups the ante with music from producer Ott.
Crystal Vibes was produced out of research into the possibilities for multi-crossed-sensory virtual reality experience, including integration with the "Synesthesia Suit" for a whole-body vibrotactile haptic experience. It was presented along with Rez Infinite at Sundance Film Festival New Frontier 2017. See the website for more exciting details and to catch up on the latest research.
