<!-- Soundscape - The app that explores the use of innovative audio-based technology to enable people, particularly those with blindness or low vision, to build a richer awareness of their surroundings, thus becoming more confident and empowered to get around by using 3D audio cues to enrich ambient awareness and provide a new way to relate to the environment. -->

<!-- Wayfinding - The process or activity of ascertaining one’s position and planning and following a route. 3D sound is where the audio through your headphones sounds as though it is coming from a given direction, as if it was actually coming from a speaker. Intersection - A junction where two or more roads meet or cross. Callout - a short audio clip with speech and/or sound effect serving as a piece of information. For example, the application can output an audio callout to notify the user that the battery is low.

<string name="faq_difference_from_map_apps_answer">"Soundscape provides an ambient description of your surroundings in aid of exploration and way-finding. Using spatial audio, Soundscape will call out points of interest, parks, roads, and intersections from the direction they physically are in your immediate environment as you walk. For example, if you pass a shop on your right, you will hear the name of the shop sounding from your right. As you approach an intersection, you will hear each road name sounding from the direction it goes in, beginning to your left, ahead and to the right.\n\nInstead of turn-by-turn directions as often provided by other map applications, Soundscape will play an audible beacon in the direction of your destination, empowering you to make your way there on your terms using your increased awareness of your surroundings and the location of your destination.

A 'beacon' is an audio signal that helps fix the position of a location - the audio signal is played from the direction of a location which helps navigating towards that direction.
