Pictured: Atomize turns people into audio visualizers for Designer Drugs' performance at Decibel Festival Atomize is a real time visualizer for audio and depth-image data. Built for performances at the 2011 Decibel Festival in Seattle, Washington, Atomize uses the depth image from a Kinect to create a particle system from its users. Audio input is filtered and leveraged to manipulate the particle system. The software's operator controls the look of the users and how audio affects it. The application was first run to accompany Cyanwave 's performance at Decibel Festival, using the artists at the subjects. The following evening, the Kinect was turned on the audience for Designer Drugs , allowing their fans to participate in the visuals. Atomize Photos by Victoria Holt .
