Tauscope makes sound visible. It expands an incoming audio waveform into three-dimensional space using delay coordinates, and draws its trajectory as a single line. Rather than converting volume into decoration, it visualizes the structure of the signal itself. Input — built-in microphone / audio interface Controls — τ (delay), gain, zoom, spin, trail Display — full-screen mode for live projection Platforms — iPhone / iPad / Mac Made for live projection and studio monitoring. It does not record, store, or transmit audio.
