#42This is how AirPods might work in a few years. In any environment you will be able to turn up/down the different sound sources around you.
I'd like this a lot, if it was discrete. I lived in Dublin for two years, and in my limited experience of going out the experience could always be summarised as "loud, couldn't understand anyone". If I could hear a little less of random people and noise and a little more of the people I'm talking to I might have enjoyed it more.

Where will you make it?

#45It's nice, but also a hot mess! Try sliding some sliders, then clicking on the about page (mismanaged as a plus sign), and then clicking back - a sweet whiskey laden cacophony! At this point, every slider needs to be explicitly interacted with in order to toggle it.
Thanks for the ambiance!

#46Irish musician here, missing regular sessions at Patrick's Pub in Providence, RI. Smithwicks' Ale for the players, random audience members singing Irish songs in Irish and English, we are all missing the community, especially since our outdoor jams ended 5 months ago.
My father has been playing in the same pub session with the same friends almost every week for close to 40 years. Pubs in Ireland have been closed for a full year now (gastropubs could operate over the summer for a bit but in a limited capacity) and it’s been very hard for them to adjust to the loss of community, especially since they’re all relatively recent retirees. Here’s to some normality soon.

#47This reminded me of the NPR Planet Money episode [0] about the design universality of international Irish pubs

#48To recreate it more authentically, additionally dip an old towel into stout and frying oil and hang over a radiator.
I would add the smells of rain, wet wool, sweat and breath, and sawdust. Fragrance is so evocative and complex, but it'll be a while before we can call it up in our browser.
I remember a Disney World hang-glider ride where they puffed cool humid forest-scented air in my face. That was a very effective ambiance enhancer.
I also remember getting an Odorama card [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smell-O-Vision#/media/File:Odo... ] when I saw the movie Polyester. Amusing, but not exactly Proustian.

I think everybody is just holding their breath waiting for everybody else to go first.
I say: GO FIRST!

Feel free to do the work to record a dozen stems to make it adjustable.
