The Technicolor Clinic Team at Harvey Mudd College created a user interface for manipulating sounds in a three-dimensional environment. This allows an audio engineer to move the perceived location of sound tracks in various media with sound-mixing technology. A 3DConnexion mouse provides a user with control of the sound’s location.
