2024 Audio Developer Conference Keynote
From the chemotaxis of single-celled organisms to human exploration of the solar system, it seems that terrestrial brains are exquisitely tuned for navigating in 3-d space. There is evidence that we use our navigation brains, by way of conceptual metaphors, to reason about even the most abstract concepts. But what about when that space is infinite? How do we navigate within a virtual space that does not even exist until we generate it? This is the domain that audio developers inhabit and explore on a routine basis. And we’ve developed strategies that have analogs in biological evolution, anthropology, physics and assembly theory. Audio developers are the under-appreciated protagonists of this story (but there is a happy ending).
