Hi,

I am doing an interactive installation and I would like to use ambisonic sound. I may be using VR too.

I use Unity3d to control sound synthesis in Pd and I can send panorama degrees of objects to Pd as you move around in the 3d world.

What solutions for this are there? Any libs that I should check out?

Time is quite short so if I can not find a simple workable solution I may have to skip it, but I rather not.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

All the best,
N.

@cfry I doubt that it can be simple unless someone posts an already existing patch.
You can get positional data using fiducial markers and TUIO with a camera and GEM but the tuioclient.dll that I have for Pd is 32-bit so Pd versions before 0.48 and I don't know whether there has been a 64-bit update.
You might find a way using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth data from mobile phones, maybe through an Arduino or similar.
David.

@whale-av I just found this thread https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/14551/octophonic-to-binaural and the advice to use [hoa.xxx~] from ceammc lib. Seems doable.

If it is just a matter of connecting a circle of speakers then I think I am set.

https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/14728/ambinilla-1st-order-ambisonic-panner-for-pd-vanilla seems workable too.

I receive position data over osc from unity3d so that is already working fine.
