Soundscape's direction are meant to interface with the 3D audio
capability. So, the reason it does not say that something is behind or
in front of you is that it assumes you are wearing headphones and hear
the audio indicators of each location. I don't know why Microsoft didn't
just include an option for the app to announce direction/degree as a
supplement or replacement for audio indicators; this would make it much
more useful and turn it into what amounts to a free version of BlindSquare.
I'm really not impressed with Microsoft's fores into this kind of thing.
Just like Seeing AI, this app is incredibly overhyped at least in its
current incarnation.

Hi Mark and everyone else was trying to use Soundscape,
I tried it enjoyed it quite a bit, even though I don’t do much walking I used
it while in the car with my husband it is really fun to use.
The only question I have is how to get it to read continuously so you don’t
have to keep flicking?
Take here.

Hello Kelby,
I installed this app on my 8 Plus last week but have yet to launch it.
I will do so this week and post my observations, on-list.
The app sounds intriguing. I will probably use my Apple EarPods, the first
time out.
Of course, I am eager to learn of others' findings, as well.
Mark

Starting a separate thread on this since from what I can tell nobody has talked
about this app yet.
It looks as though Soundscape is pretty similar to BlindSquare in terms
of the things it can call out and announce, with the big new feature
being the 3D sound. This, however, assumes one has headphones that can
safely be used outside, and this definitely isn't the case for me with
only earbuds and over the ear headphones. So my question is is
Soundscape even worth trying out and mostly just focusing on the non-3D
announcements like interesections? From what I understand it has more up
to date maps than BlindSquare.
