<<Headset provides '3D soundscape' to help blind people navigate cities>> <<To create the “soundscape” effect, the system uses directional audio technology to make certain directions and the description of landmarks sound like they’re coming from where they are actually located. If the cafe is 10m ahead and on the left, that’s where the trusty Bing maps voice will sound like it’s calling out to you from. You can even ask it for extra information on local landmarks, like history or opening hours, all plundered from the Bing database.>> Michael _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on.
