Using 6D Music's patented WalkThruMusic™ technology, this application invites the user to explore novel immersive music experiences combining hi-fidelity multipoint audio capture techniques and active listening via 6DoF spatial navigation. Built on Apple's ARKit for Augmented Reality experiences, the app allows the user to transform their surroundings into a "walkThru" performance venue, in which they can explore the music by moving among the instruments as they play. VR mode is also provided to let the "fingers do the walking". Designed to deliver a high-quality (binaural) listening experience, the use of headphones is strongly recommended.

This started as a tool, and grew into an obsession. Yr Xtals is seriously addictive. I can, and often have, been working on testing it and ended up draining hours just watching the visualizer dance to my music. It's fantastic. I can't imagine if you like music that you won't like this. Especially if you're an audio engineer and are hoping to gain a bit more perspective on your work. That is why I originally made this, and while it has grown into something much larger, it is still a precision audio analysis utility that I know you'll fall in love with, like I have. Enjoy!

Verdict
