Sensory Abstract#2 app is the second abstract app in what has become a series of visual digital art and sensory effects. The app is a combination of the use of digital art and effects techniques created by Sensory over the years, alongside the influence of abstract expressionist artists. The concept for this app is to create a calm, visual experience, with slow emerging shapes. There is a vast combination of layouts and colours to enjoy, and a range of styles pressing the left/right arrows. Sensory Abstract #2 is a moving display of unique digital effects combinations. The projection capabilities of the phone or tablet gives the option for galleries, sensory rooms, theatres and relaxing environments to run the app on large screens.
