Abstract:
Mobile platforms (phones, toys, portable gaming devices) are typically relegated to using small speakers as a means to recreate an immersive environment for games. These playback devices have certain attributes that require unique approaches when creating content for mobile entertainment.
A panel consisting of speaker manufacturers and mobile game creators will discuss the performance characteristics and limitations of headphones and other micro-speakers as they pertain to playback of game audio on those devices as well considerations for designing game content.
