sonic
is
an
experiment
on
the
topic
of
screenless
computers
.
what
would
our
smart
devices
look
like
,
and
act
like
if
they
were
not
bound
by
the
rectangular
standard
of
the
screen
.
sonic
is
a
pair
of
headtracking
headphones
powered
by
a
Raspberry
Pi
.
the
headtracking
information
is
used
to
control
a
supercollider
program
that
performs
binaural
processing
.
in
 
other
worrds
the
spatial
positions
of
sound
sources
are
 
decoupled
from
the
listeners
frame
of
reference
.
so
to
say
the
sounds
stay
in
place
as
the
user
changes
the
orientation
of
their
head
.
its
like
VR
but
for
your
ears
not
your
eyes

the
device
can
also
record
stereo
audio
using
the
two
microphones
mounted
on
the
two
earcups
.
having
microphones
so
close
to
where
one
'
s
ears
would
be
gives
the
sound
a
lot
of
presence
. 
the
componnts
are
mounted
on
a
pair
of
headphones
that
i
'
ve
had
for
around
five
years
now
and
the
whole
assembly
is
modular
,
meaning
that
faulty
components
can
be
easily
swapped
out
