Eep! Is New Releases the most appropriate place for this? But I don't have an iOS device! Or a history of finishing things! :'(

This does sound awesome enough to warrant staying near the top of whichever room it winds up in (which might be this one, since it is directly related to audio games and is something new). I'm really hopeful for what comes out of this! (And slightly more inclined to get back into C).

Oh gush. It's a pity, that It doesn't developed also for Windows.

It would definitely be possible to produce a windows version of the plugin. It's all plain C, but so far uses the vDSP library for accelerated math operations. Replacing vDSP for example with Intel's IPP library would not be such a big problem.

The question for me right now however is if there is actually a market for binaural rendering for games. I talked with some game companies and they seem more keen on investing their time and money in graphics. Spatial audio seems to be something like their lowest priority.

hi,
Personally, i don't see the point in main streem games any more. There not going to listen to us, therefor why should we pay about 40 pounds on a game we can hardly play. The only acception would be mortal combat.

Wow. I'm not sure if there's any true Binaural algorithms out there, and if there aren't any, this is revolutionizing. Though I've heard that there is sort of one, but I've never played a game using true 3d.

Being a light scripter programmer sort of, just know a little VB6 and C, but not enough to write any simple programs, well I could see this becoming very complex. It's very cool though, and I'm sure that the efert to put it into a game is worth it. And it's especially important in audio games, where everything is represented through sound. We need something countering all the advanced graphics libraries out there.

Hum, I'll get Ghorthalon, as he seems very interested in a way to create binaural audio. Well aren't we all
If I were a hardcore programmer, I'd definitely check this out. In the future I might, but I've kinda taken a pause from any serious projects so.

hi,
I'd love there to be something like this, especially as it would be true 3d instead of some things you get now. I mean, sure earclang is great, but it'd be greater to have something like this for general purpose games on windows as well as audio ones. I can defonatly see there being a market for it.

Are any of those free and under 50 mb?
And, SLJ, the way you could test this is if you are developing something. They'd distribute.a code library for the developer to implement in his game. Much like those roming BGT scripts you can see on the internet that is set to perform various tasks, but slightly more complicated

Sounds definitely interesting. I'm often lost in virtual 3D game worlds we have currently in audiogames or find navigation rapidely too hard, and definitely don't understand how blind people manage to play console games (outside 2D versus fighting which is indeed the big exception).

I think that having a more precise 3D audio engine capable of rendering minoral sounds will certainly help a lot in that area, and will be an excellent progress for us, to have nicer and immersive game world.

I'm also convainced that it is also excellent for sighted people, who will even more be immerged into the game world than they already are, but it seems that allmost all researches are made on graphics nowadays. At least I have the impression that audio in gaming didn't make much improvements in the last few years. 5.1 or 7.1  is still complex to install, uncompatibilities are too frequent, relatively few games really use it, and it's still not that cheap. Minoral sounds and high-quality stereo headphones should be the future for audio gaming, I find.

It would be nice to have a multiplatform plugin. Even if more and more people are getting into mac and iOS, most of us still are on windows. I infortunately don't have iPhone, otherwise I would certainly be happy to try out something.

A quick note, the free library OpenAL Soft seems to have a minoral module, but I have tried and didn't hear something really interesting. I don't know if it's because my headphones were too poor quality, if I did something wrong in configuration, or if I'm not normal... as I understand, minoral effects must help make the difference between above or below, and between in front and behind located sounds (correct me if I'm wrong).

Because I'm on a 3G network and on my iPhone, and it won't let me download anything over 50 MB on my 3G network. Suckish people, isn't that my own damn option? But it won't matter anyway, since as they're not free, I won't be getting them.
Just a quick OT question, but when will this sixth sense become comertial, since in one week, I can download it, when I'm at my ants house.

I asked for how long it will be free. I just need one more week, and I'll have it.

I know of one, but what it used it for could have been accomplished as well with tritonus.
I've tried working out how to use it myself; the complexity is quite painful. I'm hoping that, if it hasn't been done already, it can eventually be wrapped in something like BGT's sound_pool (which is probably the least head-explody sound API I've come across ever).
But next to XAudio2 fixing its bugs, progress with FMOD seems way better than nothing.

I got the impression that was the point of this topic, to get it usable in something (specifically iOS programs).
