What to listen for
- •Front vs Rear Localization: Sounds positioned behind you feature subtle high-frequency attenuation simulating natural ear pinna filtering.
- •360° Orbit: The audio beacon should move smoothly in a full circular orbit around your head.
- •Browser Environment: Uses Web Audio HRTF positioning. Native mobile apps can additionally access hardware motion head-tracking sensors.
Technical context
Binaural Rendering: Web Audio API models sound direction via HRTF algorithms.
Operating-system spatial audio (e.g. Apple Spatial Audio, Dolby Atmos) and hardware head-tracking sensors operate at the OS level and are not accessible in standard browsers.
