Abstract

A chatspace was developed that allows conversation with 3D sound using networked streaming in a shared virtual environment. The system provides an interface to advanced audio features, such as a “whisper function” for conveying a confided audio stream. This study explores the use of spatial audio to enhance a user's experience in multiuser virtual environments.
