This post (and the linked project from it) covers how I use ARKit to make it look like the real world is being distorted by music: https://blog.mattbierner.com/reality-shaders/
I personally could never get very exited about AR apps that simply insert digital objects in the real world. Using AR to modify the world though opens up a lot of possibilities and I've been throughly impressed with how well ARKit can pull this effect off too. It even works great on the five year old iPhone 6s.
Give the app a try and let me know if you have any feedback/questions

The bigger issue is the template overloading in the first place that makes libraries like boost possible.
A language should not be able to do stuff like this https://blog.mattbierner.com/stupid-template-tricks-super-template-tet… This is on the same level as JSFuck with javascript.

Not quite the same, but I quite enjoyed PicPlane https://blog.mattbierner.com/pic-plane-1-1/ by Matt Bierner who has quite a few of similar experimental visual perception apps.
