TLDR

Imagine listening to your favorite song in 360 ° audio. I am pleased to present Inside Music YouTube Edition, a web application that uses Artificial Intelligence to separate instruments and place them in a virtual room for an immersive experience. Try it in modern browsers with headphones, or in Virtual Reality devices. Link: https://3dyt.hcilab.ml/ Credits: Experiments with Google.

INSIDE MUSIC — YOUTUBE EDITION

What if you could step inside a song? This is a simple experiment that explores that idea. See and hear the individual layers of music all around you to get a closer look at how music is made.

It’s built with WebVR and spatial audio. Thanks to Song Exploder and Google Creative Lab for open-sourcing their code we could adapt it to allow you to explore your own music in VR.
