Radial Graph Audio Visualization

What does sound look like? Such a question might seem nonsensical as it might feel the same as asking what smell a certain color has. Looking at waveforms, however, gives a clear answer to the question. As sounds are longitudinal waves that travel through the air, there is always a way in which we can visualize them. If you spread sand or pour water on top of a speaker, beautiful patterns based on sound waves appear depending on the sound you play. But how can we imagine sound in shapes and forms we've never seen before?

By utilizing WebGL, this project visualizes sounds in various spherical forms which the user can manipulate. From regular spheres to bumpy ones, this visualizer helps reveal beautiful patterns that lie in sound.
