Digital Innovation: Odio
A highly immersive spatial soundscape application with cutting-edge visual aesthetics.
Odio is an interactive AR soundscape application created by Volst, a Dutch studio. Not just bringing an immersive soundscape experience, it builds a highly sensory digital atmosphere. Yes, it breaks our dry imagination of the digital world.
Most digital products are too monotonous to make a deep impression on the sensory level. Odio is different. It perfectly balances pioneering technology and design, ensuring exquisite spatial soundscape effects accompanied by cutting-edge visuals and an incredible interactive experience.
The spatialized sound and visual art organically combine well and bring the experience of this digital product to a new level. Artists create distinctively visual effects for each soundscape theme. The original, dynamic visual experience strengthens the immersive feeling of soundscapes. It even transcends the multi-sensory experience of the physical world, invoking a vibrant digital sensory experience. For example, Hyperculture created an enchanted visual aesthetic for several soundscape themes of Odio. It allows us to “see” audio in a freshening way, not just hear them.
Odio’s interactivity is also noticeable. Its philosophy is to inspire people to create their soundscape environment. Unlike similar products, Odio is more like a platform allowing musicians to create their sound space and publish it on the platform. Everyone can enjoy the original soundscape created by the music artist so that our ears reward a fresh experience.
More importantly, users participate in creating a soundscape, and the interaction way is simple and engaging. Dragging the relevant sound effect to the core sound area, pulling its position freely, you will perceive timely change, such as its synthetic effect, spatial orientation, and intensity in time. The closer the central area, the higher the power of the relevant sound effect, and vice versa. It is similar to our free drawing on canvas, where you are participating in the creation of your sound environment through Odio.
Last but not final.
Through small detail, you can touch the delicate feeling that Odio brings. Using Odio with headphones and the volume turned to a minimum, you will hear more vividly and capture subtle changes as you interact with them. Surprising feeling!
