Spheres App

iPhone / Musique

This app is na adaptation of a Swift Playground that made me a WWDC Scholarship winner in 2021.

My artistic background as a composer and conductor made me inevitably to think about the artistic possibilities of ARKit. From this impulse emerged an art installation as my Swift Playgroud. The focus of this artistic piece is the sound and its spatiality. Each sphere has its own sounds and orbit. They interact with the user accordingly to his/hers position: if the sphere is near to the user, the sound is lauder, otherwise is softer. Supposing the sphere is on the right, the sound will come from the right. Conversely, when it is on the left, the sound comes from there.

All sounds are combined as a music composition that works with this spatiality, with a sound projection that moves through three-dimensional space. Alternative sound projections have been used in contemporary music for many years, however, there are no evidences of these projections been played through augmented reality.
