Beatsy turns any surface into an AR-powered music visualizer

What you need to know

• This app turns any surface into a music visualizer and it's free.

Some of us are still waiting for that killer augmented reality app and while Beatsy might not be it, it's one of the more fun uses for AR that I've come across. Simply, it takes a surface and turns it into a music visualizer.

Yes, that means you can have your wall ripple to the beat of your favorite track and yes, it's pretty cool.

Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that it's free, giving everyone the chance to get their hands on it. And they should, if only to get a glimpse a the kinds of things that can be done with AR – and I don't believe this takes advantage of the iPhone 12 Pro's LiDAR Scanner yet, too!

Shape the world with your music

Beatsy is an AR music visualizer that uses the microphone or music to modify real world surfaces. Turn your wall into a giant speaker or transform a road into a rolling wave of notes.

Features:

• Distort any flat horizontal or vertical surfaces using microphone input or music.

• Scale the visualizers up to epic sizes.
