Abstract:
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, 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 participants; attenuating the leveled voice sound to an attenuated voice sound such that the attenuated sound is representative of a distance between the one speaking participant and each of the listening participants; converting the leveled and attenuated voice sound to a converted sound corresponding to the direction to each of the listening participants from the one speaking participant; and transforming the converted sound to binaural sound for transmission to each listening participant.
