IEM's Cat3DA (Camera-Tracked 3D Audio Player)

Cat3DA

Our Cat3DA player (Camera-Tracked 3D Audio Player) uses the webcam of the users PC/laptop to track the user motions. The user may move around to explore the soundfield. The sound sources are encoded into 3rd order Ambisonics and are decoded using the MagLS binaural decoder. Please wear headphones while listening! Click here to go to the audio player.
If you open the player, you will find a graphical representation. In the big graphic the sound sources are displayed as red points and the listeners position is plotted by a green point. The green line denotes the orientation of the listener head. In the smaller graphic there is a "confidence light". It shows green if the listener head is tracked successfull yellow, if tracking is critical, and red, if tracking is not possible.

Our Cat3DA player in combination with video, uses the webcam of the PC/laptop to track the listener head rotation. The sound sources are encoded into 3rd order Ambisonics and are decoded using the MagLS binaural decoder. Pease wear headphones while listening! Click here to go to the video player.
If you open the player, you will find a video window and beside a playlist. Below the video window, you will find a symbol that shows the horizontal head rotation of the user and a "confidence light".
