Music performance app for busker with a networked augmented reality visualization for viewers. Uses Unity, Photon Networking, and ARCore. Buskar plays a sequencer, viewers connect over the network and see an AR visualization of the music in space.
buskAR is part of my ongoing project around AR. The main website is at oeoe.club.
buskAR is one exploration into networked audio/visual experiences and performance using AR. The core idea involves networking to sync data between devices, then allowing the sync to drive experiences congtrolled by one person or a group of people. The project is open source under the MIT license so folks interested in networked AR have a starting point.
