aframe-audioanalyser-component
Audio visualizations for A-Frame using Web Audio (AnalyserNode).
These components mostly provide processed Web Audio data (beat detection,
levels, volume, waveform). How that is visualized is up to you (by writing
components that use this data to have a visual effect). Components will generally
implement the tick handler and read the analyser data. See the examples for
some example visualization components.
Not tested on mobile.
