Spatialized Doppler Effect


Demo


We used Ambisonics throughout the quarter to simulate spatialized audio, but the tools we used did not account for doppler shift. So for my final project, I wanted to make a spatialized audio system that incorporates doppler shift. I programmed the doppler shift and spatialization simulation from scratch (using physics equations and trigonometry) in ChucK, and paired the sound with visuals in ChuGL. Each sphere on screen is a sound source, playing a single static pitch.
