Half a year ago, I founded a studio to build the future of virtual and augmented realities. Today, I’m excited to share our first application — Operator.
OPERATOR is our first application for Apple Vision Pro that turns the process of music production into a spatial modular experience. Make spatial sound sculptures with intuitive interactions everywhere. Read more on our website and explore design research behind the software —

Building music together with nature in OPERATOR. In the app, we reimagined the architecture of music production and moved away from the complexity of traditional interfaces in favour of the absolute purity of a modular block. Our approach is to use a spatial design language

OPERATOR is a new Vision Pro app that makes music production visual and fun. Stack 3D cubes for drums, synths, bass, FX, add effects, and record your voice. Your beat becomes a sculpture you can explore. Cool way to experiment with sound in spatial.

That’s how we spent last 6 months in a deep XR design research mode.
Design research edit for OPERATOR — hundreds of ideas, tests, explorations and half a year of working on our spatial music-making experience. From initial 3D tests to the final product for Apple Vision Pro.
