Audio demo using OpenAL and Java
Posted by Mark at December 12, 2004 10:12 PM
I uploaded an audio demo using OpenAL (Open Audio Library) and LWJGL at http://potatoland.org/code/gl. This Java demo loads four WAV files, positions the sounds and plays them in a 3D scene. The sounds will fade in and out realistically as you navigate the scene.
OpenAL is a cross-platform 3D audio API that is similar to OpenGL in appearance. I found it relatively painless to wrap some lower level functions into a simple SoundScape class that manages sounds in a 3D space. LWJGL provides the OpenAL and OpenGL bindings.
