Sphaerosymphony

Sphaerosymphony is an immersive, interactive installation that transforms real-time air quality data into a powerful visual and auditory experience. Developed by a cross-disciplinary team from the University of Edinburgh and beyond, the project brings together environmental awareness, digital education, and interactive technology.

At its centre is a dynamic 3D sphere that visualises live pollution data, accompanied by a responsive soundscape that evolves with changing air conditions. Accessible via web browsers and immersive WebXR, Sphaerosymphony offers an engaging and accessible way for audiences to connect with environmental information.

By using real-time data and generative audio, the installation creates a multi-sensory experience that makes air quality tangible and immediate. Key features include live data visualisation, an adaptive soundscape, and accessible, cross-platform delivery.
