The newly developed audlble/spacial experience allows audiences to meet with sound on a whole new level. NEW APP DESIGNED TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER We've all experienced the force and power of a great sound system, those low tones that thump through your whole body, mak- ing you move harmoniously to the music. The recently invented 4D sound system however, is a completely different kettle of fish. Instead of projecting the sound from a certain point, the 70 strong speaker sys- tem inhabits a room in which the listener is placed within a scenario of sounds, erupt- ing at different points around the room, immersing the listener in a multi-dimen- sional sound experience. Max Cooper, one of the originators of the system stated, "I just wanted to make something that was totally based on how people explored the space, there are loads of different percussive sounds which all interact and come together in the whole rhythmical experience of the track. They're all in different parts of the room, some are down on the ground and some are high up and as people walk through the space they would find different percussive elements." The system poses huge potential for reach- ing a higher sensory experience in every- day clubs. It makes you think - if they've exhibited this in all its glory in Amsterdam, it's only a matter of time before major UK clubs take a keen interest. If you, like most of us, have ever shared a moment with someone that you wish you'd followed up with a date but didn't, now is the time to celebrate. Marketed as the App that allows you to 'find those you've crossed paths with', Happn provides the precise location at which two people met, in order for them to respond to each oth- er's interest and continue the conversation that they didn't have the courage to initiate. Proving it's success in Paris, Happn aims to kindle the potential connections that could be made between couples if they give each other the time that their situa- tion deserves. Maybe it's that girl who you shared a glance with across the bar, or that guy who you keep passing on Shoreditch High Street that you've never plucked up the courage to speak to. Whatever the situation may be, Happn uses geolocation in real time to pin point the specific time when both people crossed paths and also allows them to express their interest with each other if they wish to. Privacy remains completely in-tact and in particular case of the ladies - you cannot be contacted by people who you don't have any interest in. It's a great idea that could well be a fresh and less seedy alternative to tinder but a much simpler alternative to online dating. 46 Issue 65 / 2014 TECHNOLOGY guestlist.net New dating App 'Happn' is set to be the next big thing. THE 4D SOUNDSYSTEM POSES A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR CLUB SOUND
