Cinder audio visualizer for half domes

Primary LanguageC++

Aurora Audibilis

An audio visualizer designed for dome projection.

This app was created for "Nature of Code, Cosmos Edition," a two week course at ITP / NYU. We were given access to the planetarium at the Lower East Side Girls Club.

This sketch is inspired by the Aurora. A ribbon of light wraps around the theater and dances to the music (using FFT data). As the song progresses, constellations from the northern hemisphere slowly reveal themselves.

Here are some long exposure photos taken by Max at the planetarium:

This is a screenshot of the simple shader test (found in FisheyeShaderTest). It warps content to the contours of the dome using a glsl shader. I didn't end up using this code in my final work, but it may be useful to someone else.
