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.
