I have been in contact with Simon Mitchell for a long time. He worked hard to create th e Camrote APP (Click here to get it for free) and today it got approved by Apple! This APP works for both iPhone and iPads.  This is the text he sent me:

Synopsis:
PSR-189 is an immersion among the vestiges of human civilization in which a minimal and technological form of life flourishes and emerges. This world that saw the end of the Anthropocene vibrates to the sound of a new language, that of light. A grammar made of colors, pulsations and gradients takes birth here. The digital vocalizations of the machines are the new sound identity of these places. We are witnessing the beginnings of a renewed and ingrained life in which the era of man seems to be over.”
