Canetis Radar

CanetisRarar is open-source application for helping with recognizing sound direction in games. It has overlay that can be used in games and it uses 7.1 audio to calculate sound direction.

About this fork

This is just a custom, personal fork. As a deaf player I just wanted to make some adjustment to it :)

Downside

Can't support fullscreen game, so instead of using it as an overlay, I use it on my second screen.
