Chill in this Computer Generated Retro Room

A Google Summer intern, Vibert Thio, created this marvelously soothing interactive experience.

It’s a kind of old school explorable room rendered in warm pixelated graphics. But the real highlight is the music, generated by a machine learning algorithm, which you can configure to your own taste. Give it a try and see if you don’t end up leaving it running in the background all day, like I did.

The underlying technology behind this demo is Magenta, which is an open source project using Machine Learning technology to create compelling computer-generated music and art.
