MAW, acronymic for multidimensional audio windows, is an interface for manipulating iconic sound sources and sinks in virtual rooms. Implemented as a NeXT-based frontend, MAW is suitable for synchronous applications like teleconferences or concerts, as well as asynchronous applications like voicemail and hypermedia.
MAW programs spatialization to enable auditory localization, the identification of the location of a source, which can be used for ``the cocktail party effect."
