I have decided to simplify the DIY head tracking dongle build and setup in some aspects, now I have ordered this sensor that do not need initial calibration. This is the new sensor module: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide/overview
It will initially be combined with a esp8266 module for WiFi connectivity or maybe Bluetooth http://www.esp8266.com/wiki/doku.php?id=getting-started-with-the-esp8266 http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Promotion-Brand-NEW-HC-05-Wireless-Bluetooth-RF-Transceiver-Module-serial-RS232-TTL/32367579918.html Power will probably be from one of these, giving around 10 hours of operations: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/4PCS-Hot-Sale-Soshine-900mAh-14500-battery-3-2V-LiFePO4-AA-Rechargeable-Battery/32242320597.html I will send OSC (open sound control https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Sound_Control) directly from the sensor. This should simplify the build of the head tracked sensor, reducing the soldering need. This should simplify the setup of playback using http://www.matthiaskronlachner.com/?p=2015 And maybe later ambiexplorer can be modified to accept OSC data? This will allow you to use any headphones and DAC and amplifier Best regards Bo-Erik _-------------- I want to see a good quality over the ear stereo headphone with all necessary electronics built into the headband. It will have single usb connector which will provide power and digital audio (24 bit) and carry head tracking information back to the computer, which will have the software to play standard first order B-format files decoded to binaural, using simple HRTF filters. The computer can be your desktop, a tablet computer or a mobile. umashankar -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
