Sound Compass is a project in Pure Data for a multi-channel system that is a compass that can be heard based on sound environments that vary depending on direction. It’s enough to connect the mobile device to the Wi-Fi network. The patch has practical applications — it can be useful for people with bad eyesight, helping them to be better guided.

Technical description
The receiver unit takes the numbers 0 to 359 on the OSC protocol from the mobile device orientation sensors. These numbers are divided into four equal parts — four exits with sound media switching smoothly through the crossfire using the Pan~4 object. This device allows the signal to rotate both ways. We used both pre-programmed pathers stored in the array and generators of random numbers; Samples. We have worked out ways of moving sounds around the dynamics of a multichannel audio system: some sounds are static, some are circular, others are randomly leaping.
