RoadMusic

RoadMusic generates music for your drive from the phone’s sensors and camera.

** This app contains one free scene - "Inside Zeno's arrow" - you can get additional scenes here : http://goo.gl/UH3qsZ **

We all love driving down a open road with music on the car radio, at times there seems to be an almost magical synchronization between the music playing and the passing landscape, the speed, the hum of the motor, sounds harmonize with the machine.

Then somehow it stops, we get bored of the same rhythm, or it starts to rain, or traffic slows down and suddenly it doesn’t seem right anymore. We start grubbing around for CDs or changing radio stations or navigating on our USB key...

RoadMusic proposes to solve this problem : the music played in the car is in fact entirely generated by the car itself from an onboard device !

Some advices to enjoy RoadMusic :
• Correctly place your device on its support.
• To ensure the proper functioning of the app, the support used to attach the device must be rigid.
• Connect the headphone output.
• If you are in a parking lot or a dark area, tap once on the screen to recalibrate the video brightness.
