Stanford Projects

I was enrolled in the Music, Science, and Technology Masters program at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) during the early days of slab3d (aka SLAB) development.  Being I was attending Stanford with the gracious support of the NASA Spatial Auditory Displays Lab and NASA contractor Raytheon, most projects related to slab3d.

Firefly detects the location of moving lights using two USB cameras.  The location information is used to locate virtual sound sources in a slab3d-rendered virtual acoustic environment.  In performance applications, an FM transmitter is used to transmit the slab3d binaural output to the audience.  Firefly was formerly known as SLABCam.
