Some key things about 3DBARE: 

Sound You Can Walk Inside

• software to give listeners virtual experience of walking inside music.
• translates motion-tracking into multi- channel binaural audio rendering.

3DBARE packages site- and event-specific audio content, creating a connection between digital and real-world experience through being situated at a physical location.

It will be used at a new kind of event that combines elements of concert, exhibition, silent disco, funhouse, public garden, dreamscape.

3DBARE allows listeners to move and make a virtual exploration of a soundscape: permits annotation of a space with audio that enhances both listening experience and individuals' connection to a place.

Why we think 3DBARE is essential:

• Digital studios permit ‘impossible’ music and sonic textures of greater complexity than can be fully heard through standard (loudspeaker) relay.

• Loudspeaker listening same as a CD or a gramophone record – it is passive and fixed, identical on each audition.

• Loudspeaker spatialisation is unconvincing, complex and expensive.

• Wireless headsets offer freedom to investigate sound as though it were a

physical structure.

• This permits recorded digital sound to be explored from continually changing perspectives.

• 3DBARE achieves a significant step towards "digital liveness".
