Version History of Uzu, An Interactive Light Show

3.2.1

August 7, 2020

--- VERSION 3.2.1 - Fixed bug where mic input wasn't working correctly on some devices --- VERSION 3.2 This update includes high frame rates, slow motion, and microphone audio responsiveness. In order to make high frame rates possible I had to rewrite all of the animation modes to support a variable time scale. I was then able to use this variable time scale to respond to audio from the microphone. There is a slider in the options panel that allow you to adjust the microphone sensitivity. Thank you so much to all the people who continue to download and support this app. - Support for high frame rates. Uzu will now use the maximum frame rate of the device. This means 60fps for iPhone and iPad and 120fps for iPad Pro. - Introduced "Time Scale" property slider that allows you to adjust the speed of the animations without changing the overall shape. See Uzu in slow mo! - Renamed "Speed" to "Energy". This was done to help differentiate the two properties for affecting the overall speed. - Uzu now reacts to audio from the microphone. When this mode is enabled, Uzu maps the mic levels to the "Time Scale" property. - Added mic button to quick action menu. - The quick action menu now hides when touching the screen. - The quick action menu hides after a shorter period when not touching the screen. - Added a slider in the options panel to adjust microphone sensitivity. - Fixed a number of UI bugs where text would be the wrong color.

Reviews of Uzu, An Interactive Light Show

Leave a Review Uzu, An Interactive Light Show
  • Limitless Visual Possibilities

    This app is a great way to experiment with all kinds of visuals and endlessly tweak settings to your heart’s content. It can respond to multi-touch inputs, and/or sound.

    It would be interesting if future features could include:
    * Adjustable sound responses (I.e. frequency ranges)
    * other phone sensors might be integrated into the app such as phone orientation (xyz accelerometers)
    * camera (detecting head/mouth motion/hand gestures)
    * MIDI input (responding to configurable note values and remote knob values for remote manipulation during live performance).

    However, this app has not been updated for over 3 yrs at the time of writing this, so it’s unclear if it will evolve beyond its current state - which is still very impressive.

  • Been enjoying this app for years

    I have been downloading this game onto each of my devices since the first iPod touch was released. It is a staple of every device I’ve owned and I love it. It’s a super creative app and was ahead of its time. My favorite app to mess around with, utilizes the imagination that was initially sparked with touch screen technology. Will always download.

  • Outstanding! I have a request.

    Uzu is absolutely brilliant! Love it! Thank you for making it sound reactive (I’m one of the people who requested that).

    My request: Please please please extend Uzu to the Apple Watch. I realize that much of its UI, like creating custom presets, wouldn’t exist on the watch, and if the preset list is too cumbersome it could just go with whichever one is currently selected on the paired iPhone. Turning the crown could bring up the options (autoplay, screenshot, sound react, etc.). If the watch’s processor is not up to the task, put a ceiling on the number of particles that is goverened by what cpu the app encounters (more on the series 9, less on the series 5, etc).

    Having Uzu ever-present on one’s wrist makes it THE watch fidget for those of us who need fidgets for anxiety (haptics would enhance that aspect). A adult could trigger 3-4 behavior changes on the small screen, and my 2yo granddaughter (who’s fascinated with my Apple Watch already anyway) could probably fit 5-6 fingers, squealing with delight. If you want to make putting it on the watch a premium feature, I would definitely pay a fat one-time in-app purchase for that. Thank you for considering it. I sincerely hope you go for it.
