Here are some of the types of applications a web audio system should be able - to support:

- -

Basic Sound Playback

- -

Simple and low-latency - playback of sound effects in response to simple user actions such as mouse - click, roll-over, key press.

-
- - -

3D Environments and Games

-

-
-
- - -

Electronic Arts has produced an impressive immersive game called - Strike Fortress, - taking advantage of 3D spatialization and convolution for room simulation.

- -

- -

3D environments with audio are common in games made for desktop applications - and game consoles. Imagine a 3D island environment with spatialized audio, - seagulls flying overhead, the waves crashing against the shore, the crackling - of the fire, the creaking of the bridge, and the rustling of the trees in the - wind. The sounds can be positioned naturally as one moves through the scene. - Even going underwater, low-pass filters can be tweaked for just the right - underwater sound.

Box2D is an interesting open-source - library for 2D game physics. It has various implementations, including one - based on Canvas 2D. A demo has been created with dynamic sound effects for each - of the object collisions, taking into account the velocities vectors and - positions to spatialize the sound events, and modulate audio effect parameters - such as filter cutoff.

- -

A virtual pool game with multi-sampled sound effects has also been created. -

Musical Applications

-

-
- Many music composition and production applications are possible. Applications - requiring tight scheduling of audio events can be implemented and can be both - educational and entertaining. Drum machines, digital DJ applications, and even - timeline-based digital music production software with some of the features of - GarageBand can be - written.
-
- - -

Music Visualizers

-

-
- When combined with WebGL GLSL shaders, realtime analysis data can be presented - in entertaining ways. These can be as advanced as any found in iTunes.
-
- - -

Educational Applications

-

- -

A variety of educational applications can be written, illustrating concepts - in music theory and computer music synthesis and processing.

-
- - -

Artistic Audio Exploration

- -

There are many creative possibilites for artistic sonic environments for - installation pieces.
