What's going on with Gaia?
thisissami | 12:20 PM on 03.26.2009 5 comments




So lately I've began listening to music on my PS3 after I tried streaming files between my computer and my PS3 for the first time. I ended up downloading all my Air and Röyksopp albums onto the console, and listen to them all the time on my PS3 since it has a way better sound card than my computer. Whenever I'm not doing anything else at the same time, I have the Gaia visualizer making the music prettier in the background. I've probably listened to about 2 or 3 hours worth of music at this point while having Gaia playing, and I still can't figure out what it is exactly that is being visualized.

The only thing that I can tell is that whenever there is a lot of bright sunlight - be it due to the sun being behind the earth and the atmosphere being illuminated, or the sun being reflected off of one of the oceans - you can see a curvy and blurry equalizer of sorts on the very edge of the light. Is that the only thing that happens? I feel like something else has to be taking place for it to be called a visualizer. All the rotations and camera movements feel like they fit really well to whatever music i'm playing, but that's probably because it's such an ambiguous and steady change that the human mind can just make it fit whatever song they are listening to.

I've been pondering this for quite a while and haven't been able to figure out an answer. Has anybody on dtoid had better luck figuring out what it reacts to?

Pretty much just looks pretty. You're kind of wasting life trying to look deeper into it.
