Capstone Audio Project
A downloadable game for Windows
The idea behind my thesis is customizable 3D audio in games. In today's market, a lot of effort has gone towards improving audio in headphones to deliver a realistic surround sound experience for gamers but not much on the games themselves so the person's experience will depend on the quality of their headphones.
Every user experiences sound differently, much like how our sight differs from one individual to another.
My project (although still very basic) aims to fix this such that you can adjust the game audio and still experience the game to the fullest without reliance on your headphone quality.
You should have 360 surround sound while playing the game and locate where each audio is coming from
