• Project Assistant at the Department of Media Study, SUNY, Buffalo on the Tactical Sound Garden [TSG] Toolkit Project – The project involved integrating PlaceLab for WiFi positioning on mobile devices and the FMOD 3D audio engine to enable anyone living within dense 802.11 wireless "hot zones" in urban environments to install a "sound garden" for public use. Using a WiFi enabled mobile device, participants "plant" sounds within a positional audio environment. These plantings are mapped onto the coordinates of a physical location by a 3D audio engine - overlaying a publicly constructed soundscape onto a specific urban space. Wearing headphones connected to a WiFi enabled device, participants drift though virtual sound gardens planted by others as they move throughout the city. More information is available at the project website and related web sources.
