The listener property of the BaseAudioContext interface returns an AudioListener object that can then be used for implementing 3D audio spatialization.
Syntax
baseAudioContext.listener;
Value
An AudioListener object.
Example
Note: for a full Web Audio spatialization example, see our panner-node demo.
var AudioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext; var audioCtx = new AudioContext(); // Older webkit/blink browsers require a prefix ... var myListener = audioCtx.listener;
