≈ How it works ≈
Stereoscopic 3D audio for headphones is like 3D video for 3D glasses – You have two ears for the same reason that you have two eyes. So you can see and hear in 3D.
We recorded thunderstorms the way you hear — using state-of-the-art microphones with ears to capture interaural time- and level differences. Over stereo headphones, your brain decodes the natural 3D audio signal as if it was real, while the realistically timed lightning flashes give your brain another reason to believe that you're in fact immersed in a thunderstorm.

≈ Included: Roof Garden ≈
Strong winds swirl through the heavy warm rain that rushes down from the dark roaring sky of a severe summer thunderstorm. You are protected beneath the short canopy of a roof garden high above the ground. The clouds are so close that you can almost touch them. Fortunately you've traveled into the future, and a force field shields you from the dangerous lightning. Recorded by Franz (all other recordings are from Gordon).
≈ Included: Waterscape ≈
Soft rain dips rhythmically into the sparkling waterscape amidst a thriving forest. Tranquil waves of faraway thunder follow the flashes of light through the overcast sunset sky.
≈ Watch the Film ≈
To show you what Thunderspace is all about, we've made a film in LA where it rains in a living room. Watch it on thunderspace.me (^_^)
≈ Tips & Tricks ≈
) Tap the flash icon to toggle flashes on / off.
) Let Thunderspace turn off the screen for you. Do not lock the screen manually. Thunderspace can't flash in the background.
) Set the volume to a natural, realistic level. Not too loud.
) Place your iPhone out of sight so you don't see the flash source.
) Long-tap a storm in the catalog to reorder.
