Instead, the vibrations generated by the web almost act as the spider\u2019s \u201cvision.\u201d Some spiders even use those vibrations to communicate with each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spider web sonification: Less busy music, sonification of the porous web along z-axis\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s4QtAQhdU2I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Researchers wanted to \u201csee\u201d what the spider\u2019s world is like, and went about it\u00a0<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acs.org\/content\/acs\/en\/pressroom\/newsreleases\/2021\/april\/making-music-from-spider-webs.html\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">in novel ways<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. \u201cThe spider lives in an environment of vibrating strings,\u201d says Markus Buehler, Ph.D., the project\u2019s principal investigator, who is presenting the work. \u201cThey don\u2019t see very well, so they sense their world through vibrations, which have different frequencies.\u201d Buehler wondered if he could create extract melodies from spider web vibrations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spider web sonification: Virtual Reality (VR) explorations\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HL_MHD93wFc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>First<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, the researchers used laser imaging to do 3D scans of webs created by tropical tent-web spiders (Cyrtophora citricola). From that 3D model, researchers calculated each web strand\u2019s frequency by looking at properties like length and elasticity. From there, the scientists assigned \u201cnotes\u201d to each frequency in the human hearing range to create melodies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Of course, simply hearing that melody could have been an easy stopping point. But the researchers developed a VR program to interact with the web and create new melodies. The sounds (heard in the above video) may not follow the structure of a song, but they\u2019re somewhat haunting. In the VR demo, you can move through the web, strum strands, and try to create your own music.
