## How to Use
1. **Launch the App**
- Open "Urban Equalizer" from the home screen. On first launch, please grant camera access.
2. **Set Up Base Anchor**
- Point the camera around to recognize horizontal planes like floors and tables. Once a plane is detected, black and white base anchors will be placed.
3. **Load the City**
- Tap the Load button to load the 3D city. By default, the Shibuya Station area is displayed initially.
4. **Sound Equalizer**
- Tap the Play button to start music playback. The entire city dynamically moves in sync with the music.

## Settings

- **Zoom Rate**
- Determine the display magnification of the city.
- **Background Image**
- Choose a background image that determines the color of the buildings.
- **Sound Equalizer**
- Choose the audio source for BGM.
- Choose the type of visual effect wave.
- **Performance**
- This app displays a large number of 3D models, so it may slow down or crash.
- **Setting Minimum Building Height**: Buildings below the set value will not be displayed. Increasing this value improves performance.
- **Use Simplified Coordinates**: Simplifying the coordinates of the building base improves performance. Recommended to turn on.
