♥ Hi! Thunderspace 2 arrived! ♥
Spread the word! Press Kit
Thunderspace utilizes stereoscopic 3D audio &
realistic lightning flashes to create a thunderstorm around you.
From the creator of Haze, the weather app,
and Emmy-award winning nature sound recordist,
We recorded audio the way you hear
In stereoscopic 3D for headphones
You have two ears for the same reason that you have two eyes. So you can see and hear in 3D.
How it works: When you hear a bird in a tree, the sound reaches one ear faster than the other depending on the horizontal direction, while the shape of your ears colorize the frequencies of the sound depending on the vertical direction. Your brain then decodes these cues to give you a direction of the sound in 3D space.
The trick: We used special stereo microphones with ears to record the sound the way humans hear: With interaural time and level differences. With headphones on, the sound recorded by the left microphone enters your left ear, and the sound recorded by the right microphone enters your right ear. Your brain decodes the stereoscopic 3D audio cues as if you were there when the recording took place.
Together with realistic lightning flashes, Thunderspace creates the illusion of a virtual thunderstorm around you.

Thunderspace 2 introduces realistic wind simulation as a free update. Now you can feel the wind you hear. The increase in realism is mind-blowing. Literally!
Each thunderstorm contains a realistic, complex 3D wind model. Thunderspace samples the virtual airstream in realtime depending on fan direction and distance, and synchronizes one or more fans to it.
To enjoy the wind simulation, you need at least one fan and a WiFi-enabled Belkin WeMo Switch, which Thunderspace strategically toggles on/off.
Easy setup: Thunderspace scans your local WiFi network for compatible devices. Select those you want to use. Then drag the fans on the wind compass to the desired position relative to you, blowing towards you in the center.
This is so cool, it can give you a cold! Please dress warmly and use with care.
