Explorations in a Classroom Context of 3D Audio for Game Environments

This work explores how current environments for game programming are supporting a wide variety of audio options. We question whether existing approaches such as HRTF are giving any more spatial information than we are getting from a distributed virtual system. We compare current theory in physical experiences of spatialized audio with existing options in game environments to analyze how realistically we can gather the physical information used to experience audio in 3D.
