Interactive Music Visualization in Unreal Engine

Abstract

This thesis explores music visualization as a whole and describes the general process of visualizing music. A module to streamline and simplify music visualization in Unreal En-gine 4 Niagara was developed as a part of this thesis. The module can be used to synchronize objects in Unreal Engine with audio. The size, velocity, position, rotation, and color of the objects can be transformed by audio loudness in real-time. Along with the module, seven-teen unique music visualizers were created. This thesis also contains the implementation details of the developed module and descriptions of each of the visualizers. The ease of use and functionality of the project were evaluated by conducting usability testing.
