Class ListenerPoint

java.lang.Object
All Implemented Interfaces:
X3DChildNode, X3DNode, ListenerPoint, X3DSoundSourceNode, X3DTimeDependentNode

public class ListenerPoint
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements ListenerPoint
ListenerPoint node represents position and orientation of a person listening to virtual sound in the audio scene, and provides single or multiple sound channels as output.

X3D node tooltip: (X3D version 4.0 draft) [X3DSoundSourceNode] ListenerPoint node represents position and orientation of a person listening to virtual sound in the audio scene, and provides single or multiple sound channels as output. Multiple ListenerPoint nodes can be active for sound processing.
Package hint: This org.web3d.x3d.jsail concrete class is used for implementing a standalone X3D object as a Plain Old Java Object (POJO). If you are writing Java code for use inside an X3D Script node, compile separate code using only the org.web3d.x3d.sai package instead.
