ℹ️Experience Information
About the experience
Synedelica by John Desnoyers-Stewart modulates real-world visuals through sound. Ambient audio, music, humming, clapping, and voice reveal new visual qualities in ordinary surroundings.

🌀 Context Engineering Tips:
- Set and Setting: Choose an environment with interesting visual textures and ambient sounds. Natural settings like parks, forests, or beaches work exceptionally well with Synedelica's sound-modulated visuals.
- Sound Environment:
- Movement:
- Group Experience:
- Mindful Approach:
Experiment with different audio inputs - music with dynamic range, nature sounds, or urban soundscapes can each create unique visual modulations.
Try both stationary exploration and gentle movement. Walking slowly through varied environments can reveal fascinating visual transformations as sounds interact with changing scenery.
When experiencing with others, take turns creating sounds (humming, clapping, singing) to see how they transform the visual field for everyone.
Enter with childlike curiosity. The experience works best when you surrender to wonder rather than analyzing. Notice how ordinary objects and scenes transform through synesthetic perception.

How to facilitate
- Frame — “Make sound and watch the ordinary world transform.”
- Enable MR/passthrough and choose an area with interesting textures and enough light.
- Encourage humming, clapping, singing, or ambient sound; keep movement slow.
- Monitor the boundary and nearby guests.
- Ask: “What became newly visible when sound changed the world?”
Troubleshooting
- No modulation → make sound near the mic; confirm mic permission and passthrough.
- Tracking poor → improve lighting and clean cameras.
- App missing → check Unknown Sources and APK installation/license.
- Unresolved → quit/relaunch, restart/swap headset, escalate.
