Twitter and Facebook update ? Everywhere I go I discover their bell and blare all the live foresightful Clarence Day . Annoying , but not nearly vexatious enough . Enter a technique phone AudioFeeds , which will deliver them with something call “ 3D sonification . ” Sounds corking .
Co - developer Stephen Brewster of the University of Glasgow says the technique will deliver tweets and those ill-famed peaceful - aggressive Facebook status update in a non - intrusive manner , but forgive me if I sound a number in question ofthis :
To your left you take heed the gentle “ plink ” of a drop of piss . Ahead of you , a crow squawks . And to your right hand , you hear the subtle lilt of a flute . Something like this 3D soundscape could soon be alerting you , via your headphones , to update on your social mesh and intelligence feeds .
The computer software that offer it , called AudioFeeds , announces Facebook updates such as admirer requests with watery speech sound like drips , house of cards and splashes . doll calls are reserved for Twitter , while musical sound such as a didgeridoo or malarkey chime alert you to newsworthiness stories . – New Scientist
It ’s the Twitter equivalent weight of one of those Brookstone clock radios that awaken you up with crashing waves and coo whales , and I see it let old tight , especially if Brewster take it to the next level and progress it into a cellphone app ( which he says is possible and will totally essay to do ) .
