Title: 3D Audio - A Project for Winter nights!
Post by: Mig29fuk on November 07, 2018, 06:07:06 pm

Spotted this on the Web. 3D Audio will allow Pilots to hear Alerts coming from the direction of the Threat. Perfect for PAW!

Great idea, but I am yet to hear 3D Audio in a headphone, that lives up to the claim. Mostly it is binaural with the brain tricked into thinking some thing is in front or behind by the fact you can see the noise source or not. The Warthog must be getting something more that just a headset to be accurate to 15 degrees, and it will be head tracking as well (some already are)

It was a bit tongue in cheek! Thanks though Ian for technical appraisal.
Very happy with Audio on my PAW.

I did realise that Gerry, just think the poor old Pi would get cooked with all that processing.

mmm hot Pie  :)

In theory, not that tricky  from a pure left / right point of view.

Front to back adds extra layers of complexity that the Pi may well object to !!

Let's design a surround sound headset while we're at it!
