Ok, really good points.
Taking onboard what you said, a system could work to match sound volume with direction to see in a higher resolution.
I.e. It would superimpose all color in range together with those closer to the center having a higher amplitude. So the colors directly ahead would be player louder and peripheral colors played quietly.
Or perhaps this is how it works already....
Roughly how many different notes could you hear at a time?
This does look really cool, however, surly his resolution is only 1 pixel?
He is limited to hearing one note at a time, therefore he can only perceive one color at a time?
Am I missing the point?
I have just found and entry on OEIS for the general formula for the first problem. http://oeis.org/A000055
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + T(x)-T^2(x)/2+T(x^2)/2, where T(x) = x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + … is g.f. for A000081
I havent checked it, I presume its wrong tho?
Standard dev seamed to be enough. I sorted and graphed the data to to be sure.
Is this for real? I find it hard to believe we can actually do this...
