MIDI SURROUND SOUND (2024)

A portable surround sound system using cheap old android phones!




Platform: Mobile

Engine: Unity

Role: Programmer / Designer

Development: Hobby

(2024) [Long]


Synopsis:
The first version was 3x3 grid based, allowing for a basic representation of the room. I later moved to a full floorplan layout UI to give greater control. The server sends information to each client phone about the sounds currently playing and uses their relative location to determine which volume to output. With 9 phones this is enough to produce a surround sound effect. I would hide them around the room and use them for atmosphere in my TTRPG games, especially 10 Candles.


Personal Responsibilities:
  • Sourcing cheap old android phones
