Mindsight - an interactive aural adventure
Author: Luke Charman
Course: BA (Hons) Recording Arts
Subject: Can binaural recording techniques be employed effectively to create a fully immersive, and interactive audio-only entertainment experience?
As the final research project for his audio degree, Luke has produced an interactive game with binaural audio:
"MiNDSiGHT is an interactive audiobook created for the Apple iPhone platform, which uses binaural dummy head recordings to tell an immersive, reactive, and absorbing narrative in full 3D through any pair of stereo headphones. The game features professional actors, a gripping script, puzzles based entirely within audio, and a novel, exciting experience."
Through the links below the written documentation for his project can be downloaded as well as three example binaural audio files.
