Holon

What is Holon?

Holon is an innovative auditive mixed reality app that leverages IoT data and biomusicological principles to transform your everyday physical activities into a spatialized and generative musical experience. By detecting your proximity to various urban amenities, the app turns these everyday objects into interactive musical emitters and modulators, seamlessly blending your movements and interactions with the environment into a dynamic and responsive soundscape

Highlights

• Spatial computing: Holon utilizes your location and proximity to urban elements like benches, bins, shops, and cafes to generate and modulate musical sequences in real-time
• Activity-driven music: The tempo of the music is synchronized to your step rate, allowing your physical movements to drive the rhythm and tempo of the experience
• Contextual composition: Factors like time of day, weather conditions, and the position of the sun and moon influence the musical scale, harmonies, and the overall character of the generative compositions
• Passive engagement: Holon works best when used hands-free, with your phone placed in your pocket, allowing the app to detect and respond to your coupled body movements
• Broad geographic coverage: Holon is currently available in over 50 cities worldwide, with more locations being added regularly based on user requests.
