Hi all, this is probably one of the strangest concepts you will ever come across... but it works incredibly well when used as instructed (ie: laying on your back in the dark). My personal preference is to use it with my eyes closed but you may prefer your eyes open, try both methods and perhaps report back here if you get the chance. I'd appreciate any feedback. Introducing "Acidik - Wearable Audio Visualizer", a free iOS App that transcends audio and adds an entirely new dimension to music in the form of LIGHT. Designed to be used in a dark room whilst laying on your back, your phone is rested across your eyes just as you would a pair of glasses (VR goggles NOT required). The screen displays a light show that reacts to your music playlist and is best suited to tunes with a good beat. Remember to wear headphones. Close your eyes and the multicoloured light from the screen will pulse through your eyelids, creating an effect that is incredibly immersive and ideal for relaxation or meditation. Or open your eyes for a very different sensory effect. Imagine yourself at the front row of a concert as the light and music wash over you, or closing your eyes in the golden glow of a beach sunset whilst you listen to your favourite beats. Acidik is something you need to experience first hand and genuinely adds an entirely new dimension to your music listening experience. Note that due to technical limitations the app requires your songs to be stored on your device and be DRM free, it will not work with cloud stored songs. There are limited ads in the app that can be disabled via IAP. Acidik will work on iPhone 4 and upwards, however a more immersive experience can be had when using an iPhone 5 or 6 due to the larger screen size. Also available for iPad however the wearable function is not intended for this device due to its size. Features and Uses ▪ Meditation ▪ Relaxation ▪ Enhanced music enjoyment ▪ Chromotherapy ▪ Sleep Aid ▪ Total audio visual music immersion ▪ Use your own song play list ▪ Can also react to ambient audio from your surrounds in realtime. (via microphone) ▪ Selectable color themes ▪ Display on your TV via Apple TV for an incredible party mode. ▪ VR Goggles NOT required. Warning: Acidik is not suitable for epileptics or anyone suffering from light sensitivity conditions (including undiagnosed). Remember to use Acidik laying down in a completely dark environment for best results. It may take a minute or two before you eyes adjust to the light level from the screen so I suggest testing for at least one or two songs.

Hey thanks for the comment, it really means a lot. Getting people to actually try this in the right environment has been the hardest part for me, because the "wearable" aspect doesn't really work well in daylight or a lit room.... you need to be laying back in the dark and using it without external distractions. Would love to get some more feedback from you if you get the chance.
Created a video yesterday to show users how you can use Acidik as a meditation aid. The live microphone mode of the app is actually sensitive enough to hear you breathing and as such the visualizer can react to your breathing patterns. It looks quite similar to fireflies dancing on a dark night. I made this video with a secondary camera placed just a few centimetres from the screen to give you an idea of the defocused effect that you see when balancing the phone across your eyes.
