Metro-Soundscape: Melbourne

A Digital City Music Projection by Zach.Zheng

A sound projection and visualisation project turns the city into a music-responsive digital projection. Buildings, trees, local map tiles, night atmosphere and audio-reactive colour bands form a navigable city scene. It is inspired by Tokyo City Symphony, where light was projected onto a physical city model. This version rebuilds that idea in digital space with City of Melbourne geometry, tree data and local map tiles prepared from Geofabrik and QGIS sources.

Move around the city by dragging to orbit, right-dragging to pan, and scrolling or pinching to zoom. The menu holds visibility, day and night, walking and music controls. Use the projection centre control to choose where the music projection lands, and use microphone-reactive mode to turn sound into colour, glow and projected bands. Walking mode gives a street-level view with keyboard and mouse controls on desktop, or touch controls on mobile.
