the Record Player

Spin Some Vinyl and Take the Time to Focus

As an old-generation inventor, computer geek, and child of the '70s, I learned to measure time by albums. This nostalgia led to the creation of a simple Record Player app that plays a random album at 33 1/3 RPM from My Library.

Indulge in the tactile experience of vinyl and explore Augmented Reality (AR) in action ? just double-tap outside the album.

In line with SIME Corp's innovative ethos, theRecordPlayer is more than just an app; it's an exploration into what can be done with an "hourglass of music." We invite users to join us as we experiment with virtual vinyl, blending nostalgia with modern technology.

What We Learned with the Record Player:

  • Pushing SceneKit 3D Modeling: Spinning an album at 33 1/3 RPM with full interaction brings the vinyl to life.
  • Siri Experiments: Just say, "Hey Siri, throw on a vibe," and let the music play.
  • Augmented Reality (AR) Easter Egg Demo: Double-tap outside the album to switch modes. Walk around the room (or house), and the album stays where the app physically started, still with full functionality.

This fusion of the old and the new celebrates the timeless appeal of vinyl, bridging the gap between the analog warmth of yesteryears and the dynamic possibilities of today's technology.
