3D Sound emitters | noise barriers and localized or ambient sound controls #50

Open alfarmer opened 6 years ago

I propose a way to place sound emitters in 3D space, aim them, adjust volume using a 3D radial shape to define the scope of the sound and level of degradation as users move away, allowing for advanced 3D headset use that will drastically improve the submersion quality, and create another way to generate stickiness. Imagine 3D birds whose songs you can here only if you put your head into a cone shape area coming out of its mouth. Imagine extra loud music experiences that only get loud after you cross into the sound emitter's range; the sound emitters having a visual pattern to blend the sound's presence with the visual understanding of how to interact with sound. " Look out, loud music venue ahead" floating signs around the border of the emitters outer limits.

What you are looking for is binaural sound or simulated "Head related transfer functions" . there is third party software for that maybe it could be integrated if an open source version exists.
