Sound of Light 3D Hologram Experience: Light & sound experiment based on 3D holography technology

An immersive multisensory installation work which expresses the various rhythms and energies embodied in the light waves of seven different colors. Icons representing seven different colors of light appear on the holoscreen, and viewers could make an airtap gesture to select any of the icons and trigger a dynamic audiovisual response that expresses the unique character of the light wave. All icons may be combined and triggered simultaneously to create an enchanting symphony of light and sound. 

Directions 1: Watch the intro, which provides an explanation of the principles of light waves behind the work and instructions on how to interact with it. 2: After the countdown, seven different colored spheres appear on the screen, each representing a mass of light energy of a certain color. 3: Airtap to activate the icons. 4: Experience the unique sound and movement of each and every light wave. 5: Enjoy the closing media spectacle
