This video shows the robotic frogs with you, the listener, positioned in the center of their formation. How does the shape of their actual formation compare to the shape of your map?

The motorized head in the center of the formation is equipped with ambisonic microphones that capture and convey the three-dimensional space in which the frogs reside.The dial below allows you to turn the head within a 180-degree range (the approximate range of an actual human head) to reorient the position of the ears (microphones) and thereby change the listening experience—the same process by which many species engage in spatial-sonic orientation in physical environments. Turning the head will not only change the listening experience for you, it will change the listening experience for all visitors, including visitors on the first page for whom the frogs remain unseen.

To turn the head, adjust the dial between 1-180 degrees. Your degree setting will be averaged with other active visitors to the site.

This video shows a close-up view of one of the frogs. The button above allows you to play another short call with a series of clicks and see your call performed by the on-screen robotic frog in real-time. To play a call with this frog, click or tap a short sequence on the button above. (Note: connection speeds can produce a 3-5 second delay.)
