Claim Text:
1. A computer implemented multi-dimensional sound conferencing method for a plurality of conference participants comprising: assigning, via a processor, each conference participant to a unique position on a computer generated map of one of a real or virtual venue; wherein the plurality of conference participants includes speaking participants and listening participants; determining a direction on the map of each participant from each other participant; receiving a voice sound from one of the speaking participants; leveling the received voice sound from the one speaking participant to a common leveled voice sound for the speaking participant; converting the leveled voice sound to a converted sound corresponding to the direction to each of the listening participants from the one speaking participant; transforming the converted sound to binaural sound for transmission to each listening participant; and after the transforming step, canceling a crosstalk effect in the binaural sound such that the binaural sound is configured to maintain accurate directional information when a listening participant is not using headphones.
