Time for a trip? iBeams is a interactive procedural special effects system, pending FDA approval as a mind altering substance. Create and manipulate hypnotic beams of plasma, lightning bolts, squiggles, lasers, swirly swarms, flames of light, geometric shapes, sine waves, color spray, and other psychedelic shapes.
Touch the screen and watch the beams follow your fingers. Pinch, zoom and tilt to control motion echos traveling off into infinity. Shake your iPhone/iPod touch to change colors.
Turn on your music! iBeams can respond to anything your microphone hears. Sound intensity appears as gray, red and green circles. Build your own music visualizer by connecting different controls to the microphone. Video of music interactivity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_XJqTi_gSQ

8 of 25I liked the classic itunes visualizer and was looking for a visualizer to go along with my own music. As soon as I turned this app on, it turned off what was playing on my ipod and started playing its own music. This was startling and annoying. I managed to turn it off, but I would prefer it to default to my own music. Also, the visuals are a beautiful kaleidoscope, but not obviously related to the music- just not what I was looking for.
A lot of people seem skeptical as to whether or not tgis is an actual visualizer. It is! For proof go to Options>Color/Microphone Options>Visualize sounds. This visualizes its sounds. I am unsure whether or not it visualizes the sounds (Slightly or if at all) without doing this.
Totally awesome
Use it to relax and chill.
Took a while to figure out settings, but once I did, works great! Have a setting for different music genres, or whatever mood I'm in.
I love this app and everything about it. Could we get support so that I can keep Bluetooth speakers connected while visualizing??? That change would be beyond perfect.
I always use my headphones and this uses the mic so I can't and any background noise interferes with the beams.😓👎
I wish I could get this for my apple tv. I have wanted something just like this for quit a while!!!!:):) ps how can I get this for my apple tv please
