Hey, I'm Amit! I'm an architect turned computational designer who now helps architects and engineers make buildings faster and better.
In this talk I'm going to talk about a passion project I've been working on where I'm trying to visualise audio in 3D. Sound is an excitation of a medium like air which moves like a wave from the source. While this is well known when it comes to understanding the physics of it we are often introduced to squiggly lines on a paper followed by abstract interpretation of it in math. In this talk I'll be talking about my research project where I parse audio using the WebAudioAPI and visualise it in its complete volumetric glory in the browser. I'll talk about my assumptions, limitations and challenges encountered in the process and attempt to breakdown the physics of some by showing its wavelike behaviour and how I use this information to create a 3D visualization.

This talk will be presented as part of CodeLand:Distributed on July 23. After the talk is streamed as part of the conference, it will be added to this post as a recorded video.

I'm really looking forward to your talk, Amit. I studied physics and have been thinking about I can add that knowledge to increase my value in the marketplace. All I've really thought about is making animation that obeys physics laws.
oops. This was for the next talk.

That's awesome!
Please do share if you have any thoughts!
They are so beautiful.
It might just be me but can I just say how beautiful I thought the forms were at each of the frequencies in the example provided during the talk.
What an exciting way to "see" sound.
I just bought a book called The Jazz of Physics. Seems to have a similar theme.
Just checking that out. Seem neat!
Would like to see how different genres "look" like one day.
This is fascinating. (I'm a fan of making academic definitions real and concrete, with physical experiments)
I'm in total awe!!! This is so cool!
Literally mind blown!! This is beautiful!!!
That is really cool! <3
