Re: [Audyssey] Ear Monsters. New 3D Audio Game for iOS
Very well-written and informative article. As a blind iPHone user though, I personally have never held the device in the way the article suggests, and always hold it in my hands, with the display facing toward my eyes / face. So this was very interesting to me. Brian, did you glean this later point from your analytics or from chatting with your user-base? Anyway, as I said, very, very well done!

Re: [Audyssey] new controller for thought
This would be awsome. The first system that does everything that the wii system already does for the sighted. Now I wonder if this would interact and work with blast chamber, hunter, troppanum and other hand to ear products like Three-d velocity and microsoft flight simulator. Also, this would be cool if we could get it to work with sports and shooting games. Sort of like the golf game, a shooting game and maybe a skiing simulator. Just for a few ideas for the new product. Looking forward to hearing from beta testers who actually has this new prodcut and are playing with it. I need to find a new USB handheld device. But it this will be better. I might pick it up instead. But before I throw my money down, I'd like to hear from those who actually has the program and what it will work with. Ron who's looking for the future.

Re: [Audyssey] Ear Monsters. New 3D Audio Game for iOS
Hi Cara, Thanks for your comments. I got the information about how people hold their devices from online interactions with users. The first reports were the sounds are playing on the wrong side, which I naively chalked up to people putting their headphones on backwards. After some back and forth, we were able to determine what was going on. I also learned a bit of a lesson in humility-when your player says yes, I'm certain my headphones are on correctly, it is good to believe them J.
