The following are notes and links for a presentation to Octavio Vazquez’s Composition Studio at Nazareth College on October 5, 2020

1. Introductions
   • Me: a compilation of recent projects (3 minute video).
   • You: do you have a project for this technology?
2. Audio for games/sims/interactive art/VR etc.
   • Common characteristics
     • visual as well as aural
     • combines music and non-musical sound
     • interactive and nonlinear
     • adaptive
     • diegetic and thus spatial in 3 dimensions.
   • General workflow: composition & performance or capture -> DAW -> optional middleware such as fmod -> Unity/Unreal/Other -> final product.
   • Good overview of topic using fmod: Scruffy explains adaptive audio (9 minute video)
3. Adaptive audio potential in and beyond games
   • Typical game environment walk through with captioned spatial audio (2 minute video)
   • Piano cues in Unnamed Goose Game trailer (2 minute video) & especially this clip.
   • Student project 2d game development blog.
   • Early VR project from a student capstone project (variable clip)
   • Sound design in VR experience Home After War (1 minute video)
   • Location based VR: Drop in the Ocean (1 minute video)
   • Interactive video projection
     • Domelab (2 videos)
     • Silicium-01 excerpt (2 minute video)
   • VR180/360 video with spatial audio (requires headset for full effect)
     • VR180 Jam (in 3D with headset)
     • 360 example with Capital U. students (4 minute video). Student senior project blog with orchestral and choral examples.
4. What would you like to create?
5. Longer form live demos (from my laptop–not online)
   • Student sound replacement in a video game
   • Telekinetic
   • Chadland
   • Elysium
   • Outpost Prophet-5
   • Uplights
   • 360 video with interaction student project: Studio F
6. Nothing to do with any of this but still a classic.
7. Further explorations
   • fmod blog
   • Computational AV from Carl Emil Carlsen
   • Unity for Humanity Summit 2020
   • Mixing for VR using Spatial Connect from the Capital U. VR lab (5 minute video)
   • Bill’s Made with Unity playlist
   • And then there is the Unity Adam series
