// Start sound oscillator.start(); audioCtx.resume();

🎥 (wear headphones) Search YouTube for: "Virtual Barbershop" – a classic 3D audio example where scissors, clippers, and voices move around your head. 💻 Code Example: Simple 3D Sound in JavaScript (Web Audio API) Below is a complete, runnable 3D sound example. It creates a sound source that circles around the listener.

// Create listener (the "ears") const listener = audioCtx.listener; listener.setPosition(0, 0, 0); // Listener at origin

// Animate: move sound in a circle around listener let angle = 0; const radius = 2; function moveSound() const x = Math.cos(angle) * radius; const z = Math.sin(angle) * radius; panner.setPosition(x, 0, z); angle += 0.02; // rotation speed requestAnimationFrame(moveSound); moveSound();

// Connect: oscillator → panner → destination (speakers/headphones) oscillator.connect(panner); panner.connect(audioCtx.destination);

// Stop after 10 seconds (optional) setTimeout(() => oscillator.stop(); audioCtx.close(); , 10000); ); </script> </body> </html>

// Create a panner node for 3D positioning const panner = audioCtx.createPanner(); panner.panningModel = 'HRTF'; // most realistic 3D panner.distanceModel = 'inverse'; panner.refDistance = 1; panner.maxDistance = 10; panner.rolloffFactor = 1;
