Check out this insanity!

The 5 Gum Augmented Reality Music Mixer uses augmented reality – the idea of combining real world and computer-generated 3D graphics in real-time – to create a virtual DJ mixer that you control with controller “glyphs”.

The glyphs are used as the input device and allow users to:

• Change the volumes of each track by moving the glyph relative to the central reference glyph.
• Modify the tracks themselves by rotating the glyphs on their axis. This will add distortion, bit crusher and echo effects.
• Remove the audio track from the mix by covering or removing the glyphs.

The project is part of Wrigley’s 5 Gum “Stimulates Your Senses”promotion.
