3D Audio Visualizer

A stunning WebGL audio visualizer that warps a 3D sphere to the frequency of your music.

Quick Actions
CLI Installation
npx kinetic-ui-cli@latest add audio-visualizer-3d

The AudioVisualizer3D component mounts a React Three Fiber canvas and uses the browser's native AnalyserNode (Web Audio API) to generate a real-time reactive 3D mesh.

It maps the low-end frequencies (bass) to dynamically scale the sphere, and maps the high-end frequencies to distort the mesh using organic noise parameters.

[!WARNING] WebGL components require a lot of processing power. Do not mount multiple AudioVisualizer3D components on the same page at the same time unless absolutely necessary.

Also, if you are passing external audio URLs, the server hosting the audio must provide proper CORS headers, otherwise the browser will block the MediaElementSource from reading the frequency data!

Usage Guide

1. Import the Component

Import the component into your React or Next.js page:

import { AudioVisualizer3D } from "@/components/creative/audio-visualizer-3d";

2. Implementation Example

Render the component and customize its behavior by passing props:

import { AudioVisualizer3D } from "@/components/creative/audio-visualizer-3d";

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <div className="w-full flex items-center justify-center p-8">
      <AudioVisualizer3D
        audioSrc="example"
        wireframe{true}
        color="example"
      />
    </div>
  );
}
Performance Notes
  • Uses CSS hardware acceleration via GPU transform-binds.
  • Damped interpolation minimizes paint-redraw flashes.
  • Tree-shakable import: only compiles elements requested.
Accessibility Notes
  • Full keyboard focus-ring navigation support (`Tab`/`Shift+Tab`).
  • ARIA roles mapped correctly for assistive screen readers.
  • Respects `prefers-reduced-motion` system toggles.
