I Hear LA

Audio-only navigable virtual space


Tech: iPhone, Unity3D

previousnext

I Hear Los Angeles is an audio-only 3D space in which sound clusters exist that are reflective of my personal perception of real neighborhoods in Los Angeles (Palms, USC, and Echo Park). The audio is a mix of field recordings, sound libraries, and synthetic sounds.

I was mainly interested in (1) how people navigate spaces with the 3D audio abilities native to Unity3D [not well], and (2) the idea of subjective audio and whether or not my attitudes about the real-space were reflected in the digital space [yeah, pretty well, actually.]
