Ever wanted to know what a slice of pizza sounds like? ROY G BIV is a brand new app that will tell you.

As a designer, you tend to look at the world in a more exciting and creative way. Colours, textures and text are a constant presence in the world but rarely do other look at them in a different light. ROY G BIV, an app from Julian Glander, turns colour into sound. So, what does a slice of pizza sound like?

All you have to do is point your phone's camera towards an object to hear the app play the coloured sound. You can also add your own sound effects for that extra special app effect. It's a new and unique way to look at the world or rather, hear?
