IPhone Audio-Only Game Uses "3D" Sound
- Geee 16y agoThis is really interesting as a tech demonstration. I have actually never heard of binaural stereo generated in real time before.
- m0nastic 16y agoYeah, I thought it was neat. I'm not an audio guy, so I have no idea if the tech is actually impressive. As a game though, I've been playing it for a couple hours and it's really well done.
- jonhendry 16y agoHow is this different from using CoreAudio or OpenAL for 3D audio?
- Geee 16y agoThey're not binaural. They use the normal method of modifying phase and volume based on the direction of the sound. Binaural stereo uses spatially varying impulse responses for the sound channels, which creates a full and realistic 3D environment, including front and rear directions. There's also a better sense of how close the sounds are. But in a sense, it just feels you are in there.
