Mue - Web3 Music Metaverse

Music on Lens is about to go super Spatial! 🎧👽🚀

Introducing Mue - a music based Metaverse!
● With Mue you can visualize your Lens music in 3D from your own virtual listening room aka your Lens Pad
● When you play a track, Mue will adjust the mood lighting, visualizers and environment based on the tracks bpm, album cover colors and other factors
● You can also customize a different world for each artist or let Mue choose one for you
● The core idea of Mue is simple - when you listen to music your brain is transported somewhere else and that place is usually a visually rich and immersive place and Mue is trying to capture and express that feeling. By doing so I believe a listener can connect with the music and the artist on a deeper level
● This is a super early preview but I have plans to add collecting, 3D music videos, token gated visualizers, avatars, 3D collectible lens pads, multiplayer listening experience and much much more!
● If you are artist or a music addict please drop ur feedback and suggestions!
● Music featured in the demo from @weinbagz @millionrecords @nena1992 @cristinaspinei
