## What is Crystalzoa?

Crystalzoa Create is a cosmic synthesizer of graphics in motion - an interactive, simulated visual experience for iPhone, iPad, Mac (Apple Silicon), and Vision Pro.

Crystalzoa responds to movement, sound, and your touch. It includes 8 original music tacks, and 3 nature soundscapes, dozens of visual styles, and hundreds of tunable controls - giving you an infinite canvas of shimmering, evolving forms.

Share your creations with high-resolution image capture, and flexible, production-quality movie creation, with 3D (stereoscopic) movie options.
