some extras As you can read with more details on their site, the special AudioStrobe-technique makes it possble to experience the effect of combining music and light-pulses. Not only the music is stored in the mp3 but also the corresponding optical signals. These signals are transferred to the light glasses using light emitting diodes via a special decoder. The light signals can be modulated very subtly, reacting to the finest of nuances. The effect is amazing! Before your inner eye unfolds a world of fantastic colors and figures moving in harmony with the changing melodies of the music. Of course you can play the mp3, and enjoy the music as usual; you can always buy the decoder and light glasses later on.
