Project Details
- "NCSA's Audio Development Group provides sound-synthesis software and expertise to create 'auditory' signatures that identify sites on the Interactive Communities network. Participating projects send data on their content and activities over the local network to the navigation site, where auditory signals are created in software and rendered in real time."
- "The behavior of the sounds tells the story of what is going on at one or more exhibits as visitors 'walk' past them in cyberspace. The audio ambiance changes as visitors move from neighborhood to neighborhood, reflecting the characteristic differences of the exhibits in each area."
- "Sounds are created in software and rendered in real time using the NCSA Sound Server, a unique sound-synthesis software environment."
