Please - just call me Gus ;) At Hyunkooks conference there was someone who had the idea of using phones (I think in tandem)I cant quire remmeber but I "think" it was The Vostok-K Incident – an immersive audio drama for ad hoc arrays of media devices o If you go to this link and right click it :
https://research.hud.ac.uk/institutes-centres/apl/events/wimp18/wimp18programme/ Anyway I cant quite remember but there was something a bit limiting about it (it didnt do surround sound or you couldnt choose the position of the speakers etc) - I just though wouldn't it be great if you could buy a bunch of speakers , dot them around the room and the speakers would tell the media player where they were located (using GPS, or some local wireless positioning system) which channel they were and then the player would decode to that speaker array. One day - eh - it would solve the problem of getting surround sound into the public's homes I reckon. My main interest is an an artist creating content rather than developing technical solutions but Im happy to chat about them.
