so let us say I am in a VNet scene
and my avatar includes a Sound node containing an AudioClip node
something like the following
Sound {
minFront 0.1
minBack 0.1
maxFront 25
maxBack 25
source DEF footSteps AudioClip {
description "Avatar Footsteps"
loop TRUE
url [ "Warehouse/sounds/WAV/camera.wav" ]
}
}
how is what you are working on effectively different than
the spatialization offered by the Sound node??
if my avatar in my VNet scene offered gesture buttons
each of which triggered/modified shared-playback Sound/AudioClip nodes
[currently they usually trigger shared-visibility gestures]
would this be similar to what you are doing?
I can see how
the ability to embed an AudioClip node
or something like it
in an avatar
and to have that reflect to the other users
what is being said at your desk
would be a *very* interesting capability...
