Below this should be a visualisation of 1st, 2nd and 3rd order Ambisonics (click the mouse to change order). This is showing the velocity and energy vector analysis of a velocity vector optimised decoder, but you’ll still notice the energy vector magnitude improving with rising order.
White blob is the source (size equates to amplitude) and red blobs are the speakers (which go blue when they’re out of phase). The orange and green ‘blips’ are the energy and velocity vectors respectively. Buttons to start and stop the animation at underneath…

These controls currently aren’t working as WordPress is stripping out some of my HTML (it didn’t when I originally posted it)…… not a massive issue, so I’m not fixing for the moment!
Nice canvass work Bruce! – Would you consider commissions outside the scope of DSP I wonder? 😉
It’s using a higher level language called processing (which uses Java). Have a look, it’s really good and has a great javascript output option 🙂 (http://www.processing.org)
Splendid, good prep for the day when 8.0 is considered a minimum for directional surround. 😉
We have some work to do on the manufacturers, and for the consumers, first…
