The point is that some people experience that naturally, and those who don't are intrigued. This is a way of simulating that experience for them.

How? Anyone can program something where you point-click and the color you see becomes paired with some sound. How is this any more insightful that that?

Anyone can program it. Somebody did.

It's difference between writing a video game and playing it. People enjoy the experience differently from knowing that it could be written.
