Description of App
Soundscape: explore, discover, and have fun with your personalized 3D sound
map of the world!
Welcome to Soundscape Community.
We are a diverse consortium of organizations and individuals committed to
improving access and inclusion for everyone, in partnership with a global
community of users and open source developers.
We are delighted to make Soundscape available for its existing users, and
new ones around the world. With Soundscape, you are able to immerse yourself
in your surroundings and navigate effortlessly with it's innovative spatial
audio. The app calls out points of interest, your own markers, businesses
and more using audio placed in the environment around you as you walk or
drive.
Key features of Soundscape:
Audio cues in 3D space that sound like they are coming from the direction of
points of interests, parks, roads and other features in your surroundings.
Track a specific point using an Audio Beacon on it to hear updates about
where it is relative to you.
Soundscape Street Preview helps you build a picture of a place virtually.
You can "walk" down streets and roads and hear what is around each location
as you explore.
Buttons on the Home Screen can be used to explore further about what's
around you, whether in the real world or in Street Preview.
To get the most out of the experience you will need a pair of stereo
headphones that you feel comfortable wearing outdoors. For example, bone
conduction headsets, Apple AirPods and in-ear open headphones have proven to
work well. Soundscape is designed to live in the background and provide you
with effortless ambient awareness; feel free to use it in conjunction with
other apps such as podcasts, audio books, email and even GPS navigation.
We hope you enjoy the experience. We believe that this kind of technology
offers a new way to relate to the environment around you and we can't wait
to hear what you make of it. If at any time you have any questions about
Soundscape, please refer to the Help & Tutorials section available on the
main menu.
