SONG EXPLODER PRESENTS: INSIDE MUSIC
What if you could step inside a song? This is a simple experiment that explores that idea. See and hear the individual layers of music all around you to get a closer look at how music is made.
It's built with WebVR and spatial audio. We've open-sourced the code so that you can explore your own music in VR. Learn more on our Github page. And check out more WebVR Experiments here.
