Along the lines of this version of 3D rendering, I tried out using the vOICe
to help render a slightly better version of the audio quake screen with
graphics turned on, and while didn't try too much, it definitely gave me a
bit more of a 'warning' about things like walls, and their angles since it
let me know about them before the audio cues implemented in audio quake
itsself did, and this is making use of the vOICe's GUI rendering facility.
Stay well

Hi Tom.
On the matter of sound, well I've never had the full 5.1 but have always
used a pair of very good headphones, and the virtual 3D support in the Gma
engine has always done very well.
On the sensary front though, ----- while obviously including smell and
touch in a game is beyond the limits of current technology, you could put
in some assistive audio to in a sense take their place.
For example, varying step sounds for different surfaces, ----- even within
the same general area given the land marks, ---- rather the way Superliam
used the different step bounderies to indicate hazards in the path.
then, as already mentioned, make the wall bump sound sterrio, so you can
tell when the wall is ahead or to one side.
You might considder using a wall trailing sound as Terraformers did, to
allow you to trail along one wall in audio, ---- rather the way many
people would trail along a wall by touch in real life.
Just my thoughts.
Beware the grue!
dark.
