Welcome to Soundscape Community. We are a diverse consortium of organizations and individuals committed to improving access and inclusion for everyone, in partnership with a global community of users and open source developers. We are delighted to make Soundscape Community available for people around the world. With the Soundscape Community app, you can immerse yourself in your surroundings and navigate effortlessly with its innovative spatial audio. The app calls out points of interest, individual markers that you have created or which have been shared with you, businesses and much more information by using audio placed in the environment around you so that you experience it as 3D sound when you walk or pass through different spaces and places. Key features of Soundscape: Audio cues in 3D space that sound like they are coming from the direction of points of interests, parks, roads and other features in your surroundings. Track a specific point using an Audio Beacon on it to hear updates about where it is relative to you. Soundscape Street Preview helps you build a picture of a place virtually. You can "walk" down streets and roads and hear what is around each location as you explore. Buttons on the Home Screen can be used to explore further about what's around you, whether in the real world or in Street Preview. To get the most out of the experience you will need a pair of stereo headphones that you feel comfortable wearing outdoors. For example, bone conduction headsets, Apple AirPods and in-ear open headphones have proven to work well. Soundscape is designed to live in the background and provide you with effortless ambient awareness; feel free to use it in conjunction with other apps such as podcasts, audio books, email and even GPS navigation. Soundscape Community has been successfully used for Trail Orienteering by the Invictus Games Foundation; and is actively supporting customers around the world to make their spaces accessible and engaging for everyone. We hope you enjoy the experience. We believe that this kind of technology offers a new way to relate to the environment around you and we can’t wait to hear what you make of it. If at any time you have any questions about Soundscape, please refer to the Help & Tutorials section available on the main menu or visit our website and access blogs and videos.
