How it Relates to Aural Style Sheets
Sound in Space
Spacial characteristics of sound make it easier to tell various voices apart, by placing them in different locations in space. There are two CSS properties that define where the voice is spatially: azimuth and elevation. Azimuth has the following values:
- angle
- This is the exact degree number for where the voice should be coming from, for example 30deg or 359deg.
- behind
- Behind places the sound as coming from behind rather than the front.
- leftwards
- subtracts 20 degrees from the current angle
- rightwards
- adds 20 degrees to the current angle

- center
- center-right
- right
- far-right
- right-side
- center-left
- left
- far-left
- left-side
- These are all defined in the image above
