This is like the approaches to cognitive mapping and reference frames. It's thought that humans use multiple concurrent frames to understand the world - some are egocentric (based on 'me' the perceiver - and these can be head-centric, hand-centric, etc) and some can be allocentric; - based on landmark feature sets.
So, one could come up with a scheme to do both - maybe even using one of those parabolic mirror things they use to produce 360 degree views in one easy file. The camera is in a position that (as nearly as possible) actually represents the mic position, then you simply need to reference (audiovisually) to one or two key sources cheers Dr. Peter Lennox School of Technology, Faculty of Arts, Design and Technology University of Derby, UK e: [email protected] t: 01332 593155 -----Original Message----- From: Sursound [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Malham Sent: 09 October 2013 09:34 To: Surround Sound discussion group Subject: Re: [Sursound] Sense of direction (whole new idea) But, if you take the photo from behind the mic looking in the direction of the principal axis of the sonic image (if there is one) - so, maybe centre stage for DWMM - you get both the atmosphere and the better chance of eliminating error by actually including the mic.
