If you've always wanted to experience what it'd be like to have the neurological phenomenon known as synesthesia, this color-reading synthesizer app comes close to replicating what it's like to have your cognitive senses blur.
The Roy G Biv app is a synesthesia synthesizer of sorts. Users can hold their app up to various objects and have the app translate what that object would register as acoustically in the mind of synesthesia. In other words, the Roy G Biv app gives sounds to inanimate objects. Users can hold their smartphones up to things like paintings, stuffed animals and pizza slices and ask the app to translate the object into sound. The app uses the colors in the object to generate a melody that encompass what the object is.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Synesthesia Synthesizer Apps
- There is a growing trend of synesthesia synthesizer apps that replicate the experience of having synesthesia.
- Color-reading Technology
- Color-reading technology is a trend that allows objects to be translated into sound based on their colors.
- Multisensory Experiences
- There is a trend towards creating multisensory experiences by translating visual inputs into sound.
Where This Applies
- Mobile App Development
- Developing synesthesia synthesizer apps presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the mobile app development industry.
- Music Technology
- The integration of color-reading technology into music technology opens up new disruptive innovation opportunities in the industry.
- Art and Design
- The use of color-reading technology to create multisensory experiences disrupts the art and design industry, offering new creative possibilities.
