Playable, Personalized Keepsakes
Soundwave Art™ offers two distinct ways to play your keepsake: NFC (tap-to-play) and Augmented Reality (app-based). Each provides a different way to experience your soundwave.
Personalized Keepsakes You Can Play
Soundwave Art™ turns meaningful recordings into personalized artwork and jewelry created from the unique shape of your sound. Learn how your keepsake can play the recording behind the design, letting you see the Soundwave and hear the moment that inspired it.
How Soundwave Art works with NFC technology
NFC (Near Field Communication) allows select Soundwave Art™ products to play your recording with a simple tap of a compatible smartphone. A small NFC chip is hidden inside the product and linked directly to your audio.
To access the recording, unlock your phone and hold it near the NFC tap point. A notification will appear on the screen; tap it to open and play the audio. There’s no app to download, no QR code to scan, and no battery or charging required.
It’s a simple experience: unlock, tap, and listen.

Soundwave Art™ App
Create your own augmented reality art. The Soundwave Art ™ App will bring your Soundwaves, artwork, paintings, even photos to life.
We created our app to bring your custom artwork to life without compromising its beauty. From the start, we were committed to avoiding QR codes, knowing they distract from the personal, meaningful nature of art made from your voice. Instead of placing a code over your design, we use advanced image recognition and augmented reality to make the artwork itself scannable. Simply add the app feature when selecting your product options. When your art arrives, open our app and scan your art!
