Windy is an absolutely stellar app for iPhone and iPad makes use of stereoscopic 3D audio and surreal parallax illustrations along with a story line to help you relax or meditate. The app has been brought to the App Store by Taptanium, who’ve previously produced apps like Thunderspace and Haze, both being beautifully designed apps as well.
Continuing with what made Thunderspace so awesome, Taptanium have one again collaborated with Emmy-award winning nature sound recordist Gordon Hempton for the stereoscopic 3D audio used in this app. While Thunderspace created virtual thunderstorms around you, Windy, as the name suggests, brings different kinds of winds to your ears. The goal is still the same — to help you de-stress and relax. But the audio’s not the only thing that’s 3D in Windy. Windy also includes some beautiful illustrations by Marie Beschorner that are presented using iOS 7’s parallax capabilities. Not only do you enjoy crystal clear sound in your eyes, the app treats eyes to some breath-taking visuals as well. There’s also a story line that you follow in the app, with the app’s main character — Windy — travels where the wind takes her.
There are six type of wind recordings and parallax scenes to choose from in the app. Unlike Thunderspace, there are no IAPs in Windy. The purchase price (currently $1.99 on account of Earth Day) gets you everything at one go. Windy is a Universal app for iPhone and iPad and you should definitely grab it from the App Store.
