Paper presentation:
lab[au] recently developed an online project 'space, navigable music'
(http://www.lab-au.com/space) which consists in a 3D world (based on
the VRML programming language) that the user can edit through its navigation
(structurally speaking, its x,y,z positions, that he has the possibility
to record) and by drag and dropping WAV sounds into space. When dropped,
these sound files are represented in the 3D space as spheres and provided
the user's computer has a quadriphonic sound system, these sounds are
spatialised, i.e, if the sphere is on its right, he will hear the sound
from the right, if the sound is behind him, he will hear it behind him.,
etc... The user can additionally change the pitch of any soundsphere
and change its volume (acoustically and spatially).
Additionnally, the user can record its positions in space and then have
its recorded string of positions be played back by a travelling of its
camera through the sequence of the recorded coordinates. In this manner,
the project proposes to create a navigable music video clip...
