Keynote: Open Source, Open Mind: Sound Solutions for Humanity
summary
Lab builds concrete 3D‑audio systems using measured HRTFs (anechoic‑chamber impulse responses convolved with signals) and open source toolchains: a Python prototype that maps helmet sensors into a 360‑degree awareness display delivered over bone‑conduction headphones for motorcyclists; PlaneSense that pipes Stratus traffic into spatial audio so pilots hear nearby aircraft; a Pidgin hack that places IMs in space by sender importance; a BCI→MIDI prototype (JUCE) to let an amputee drummer trigger drums. Projects are implemented and tested, with inclusive‑design lessons from failures like Tay and biased sensors.
